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
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
I climb yet even higher
My leaves unravel 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
