Of What Shall I Write?

.
shall I write of trees?
gorgeous, as foreground or backdrop
to visions of life
fueling imagination
and heartfire

or write of the sea?
drowning one in depth
of emotion and tears
hoping to add one more drop
to its enormity

or shall I write of the sky?
whew! the view!
endless endless endlessly
to leave you draining
into a puddle of
discombobulation

or shall I write of Me?
yeah, "Me"
Me doing this, Me doing that
Me being, Me feeling
Me wheezing my way through
a small,tiny,little
infintessimal life

Yeah! that's it
I'll write of me
