Apple Tree

let us arrange the different pieces
onto the ways of the forgotten days
where dreams would dwell
on the beat down path

that space
where shadows lurked
and clouds shimmered 
crimson gold onto the heart

let us build the tower
that will reach
all graspable possibilities
everything shall be nourished
and shall flourish
within the innocent temptation

there
everything held in a well balanced
potential of excitement
through the worrisome days
of the captive realm

let us climb
let us crawl
let us reach 
attaining the steady palm within the spades
away from the window blown open
by the howling deceives

here 
let us rest
the construction is done
with the attained fruit at hand
that which will soon be gone

Excellent work. I have one small suggestion. To follow in the flavor of the language that you are using you may want to try using let us instead of lets Chrys
