Leafless

There's no leaves on the tree
how sad, its winter
the dark blue sky dims the mood
as it starts to rain the roots sink
into its sorrowful tears
as I walk off into the distance 
I hear a bird chirp for its mother 
I take one last look, it's a plover
as I smile and turn back around 
I discover another plover 
searching for its mother
in the cloud cover
next to the leafless tree
