Crying Tree

Crying tree, stand tall and still limbs reach in consoling embrace silver stars of glistening tears smooth cobalt face above to wander. Crying tree, hear my thoughts listen with stoic indifference feel my soul-enveloping sadness and depth of acute loneliness. Crying tree, hold me close My love is lost to me souls no longer bound moon once given, returned Crying tree, oh voiceless one lead me to the path of right I rest my weary head on thee feel warmth in tears I shed. Crying tree, my only friend feeling solace in your arms fleeting breeze begets rustling leaves swaying forms gentle caress. Crying tree, take my gratitude warm hand upon my shoulder rests brush away streams of tears my love to me returns. Crying tree, everlasting friend we will share time again stand before me in witness this tree to whom I cry.
