The tree and Me

Ol’ tree, I hear your scattered leaves

Rustle in this gentle breeze

*

Through this mist the veiled moon peer

Against the velvet sky your silhouette gleam

*

Into the earth your roots delve deep

whose branches crave for the luminous lights above

*

Tendrils of life caress my soul

Beneath your canopy lay me to sleep
