The Eternal Search

Trees are the catchers of lost human souls
Entangled in clinging wooden branches
Mouthing silent pleas to earthly passers

At nightfall peering toward magnetic stars
Hoping to freely roam the universe
Its magnificence drawing them upward

Wailing to reunite with a loved one 
From their previous earthly human realm
Longing for the eternal search for love
