Couldn'T Wouldn'T Shouldn'T
couldn't wouldn't shouldn't
can't won't shan't
deeply rooted like a tree plant
not free as the butterfly
winging gracefully into the sky
or the honeybee
gathering nectar to feed
from flower to flower in the spring
guarded by his painful sting
stationary and still
branches bow by winds will
wishing to roam far and wide
dreaming in the starlit sky
bloom blossoms bloom
seeding in the wind to zoom
far and wide magic seed
spread the essence of life from me
decades fade and branches bare
hollow ghost with death sere
life stuck on ground to never venture
now wandering soul eternal adventure
couldn't wouldn't shouldn't
