The Stumps Poem by Kimani wa Mumbi

For May

Sitting in the trees
Reminds me
of days spent with you
Tranquil and joyful.

Their whistling in the wind
Reminds me
of your sweet voice
So so melodious.

The dropping leaves
Remind me
of how high you take me
And leave me sailing down.

The thick tree trunks
Remind me
of how our love
I want to last.

And the stumps
The stumps, um, well,
The stumps. They remind me
That every journey
Has a last step.
