Spring - Tim Ashkar
My Backyard
in my backyard green grass grows and flowers bloom in the spring and little black girls sing freedom ring. freedom ring.
in my backyard tip toe to full blown the minds eye wanders to places unknown and little black girls sing freedom ring. freedom ring.
in my backyard fluffy dandelions blow linger in the air. then fall like snow and little black girls sing freedom ring. freedom ring.
in my backyard weeds sprout year round golden strands sway like hips to a moroccan drum sound and little black girls sing freedom ring. freedom ring.
in my backyard long thorns shoot from berry bushes closing in with poison at the root and little black girls sing freedom ring. freedom ring.
in my backyard stretching tall i stand in search of the promise land i peek through cracks/stare through holes beyond the fence where nobody knows i exist and little black girls sing freedom ring. freedom ring.
in my backyard peaks the sun after five nights of pouring rain the day anew begun and little black girls sing. ~ Terry A. O'Neal ~
