I Am a Tree

Teardrops might have an explanation, with reasons.
 Those teardrops often happen without reasons, too. 
 And dreams are one of a similar kind, I am sure. 
 An uncertain mixture of joy and sadness, true. 
 
 Rays of Sunlight were reflecting on my green, leafy branches. 
 Raindrops touched those leaves with a softer, tapping sound.
 I could feel the squirrels hopping, and hear those birds chirping. 
"I am a tree!" I exclaimed. A murmuring breeze passed around.
 
 I woke up in my dream, I felt unsure, I do not know why
 In my dream, I was missing just one unique, little friend.
 A perfect place could be so imperfect for obvious reasons
 Yet, I was dreaming, I felt it entirely secure in my mind.
