Two Trees

Oh tree to my right how you mirror the left Tree on the left, with great vigor you grow When waters run dry, your roots search below To the ends of all branches; lush fruits like Eden Hundred thousand leaves dance in the wind Oh tree to my right what phantom did come Yielding fruit no more; nor vivid leaves to sway All branches have ceased, no more but a stump Fifty thousand leaves dance in the wind Oh tree to my left so valiant, so true A whip of your branch & firm grip of the wind To the right, one seed you give; let life grow anew Solitude tis as fire bound for a tree, a simple truth to all Fifty thousand leaves dance in the wind Oh tree to my right; look, now you're grown As was, now are; from the tree to the left came your rebirth Teeming with life & beauty displayed Hundred thousand leaves dance in the wind
