Seedling of Your Eye

trees I watch the days dwindle slowly at first like a melting icicle dripping down for so long i have been numbed by the effects of time but now the seed of my heart is dormant and i only await to burst forth from the frozen ground Your warmth has kept me alive and nurished me Releasing the carbon dioxide that has clogged my viens As i gasp for air you feed it to me Sprouting leaves like little fingers I wave goodnight as the moon watches over me silently but then I soar above the ground Towering Almost touching the clouds Exhilarating the air up here is pure and nearest to you leaving behind old forest friends so close to the ground i rise I climb yet even higher My leaves reveal secrets as my flowers bloom such radiant colors to catch thine eye Red for passion and yet i am only seeking more of your sunlight I stand ever so tall In hopes that you will see me I stand so strong in hopes that you will need me I stand here just waiting for our time when your loving embrace will meet mine in this forest for all time
