Life as a tree

I watch my brothers and sisters fall

While animals slink away

My flowers dance across the wind hoping for better place

A paradise of green melting away through time

Thousands of years gone in the daytime 

Walls built around, me shutting out the light

Vines wrapping across me laughing with pure delight

Storms raging with fury, lightning flashing in the dark

As wind chops at my branches lighting a spark
