The Valencia Tree

The Valencia tree blooms Every spring, the flower of you A Valencia tree grows Blooming, from the scent of you Breathe in Breathe out Time goes on The Valencia tree soars, stretching out Reaching, for you Dreaming, the breath of you Someday soon We will meet once more But not before June To pluck the oranges of adoration from its branches And strip the citrus of its peel To reveal the parts of you That are long overdue Breathe in Breathe out Your citrus scent lingers After the thunderous storms After the earths charred After the leaves fall And the snow melts Your citrus scent lingers Into the bloom of you When the birds begin to sing Once more Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in; the scent of you
