The Sol's Efflorescence

There lays a dream amidst the green green grass The sweetest dream unfurled, T'was then that love would bloom with growth Inside that dreamlike world. The prickly grass that touched my stem The sun which warms my soul, Took everything I offered it My heart it came and stole. Whenever sunshine shined on me I was happy and so free, My petals danced and pollen flew Beneath the redwood tree. When it was sad it rained all day My roots felt all its tears, A flood; A puddle; drenched me deep My petals torn, severe. My leaves were drooped; my stem so weak But sunshine came to aide, It shined on me to pick me up Said I must not be afraid. Now when the skies are gray with glum I bask in all its hurt, I stretch my roots down in the ground Planting myself in dirt. Oh sunshine please don't go away Illuminate my growth, Beneath this redwood tree Ill stay with you To you I make this oath...
