Withers

After the dawn 
Pain and graces begun
Now I'm longing 
For the twilight time.
That star up high
On the daylight ignites
And a variety of feet step
On my one  last life.

I need birds on my branches
besides just making holes on me.
Wanting to be touched by  wind
Yet it shakes me.
I want fruits 
But they got ripe and fell.
I have everything 
Only sad to feel empty.

Pull out my roots
Keep nothing on me 
Burn my dry leaves 
Yet count the buds.
Cut the striving twigs I have 
Because I wither
I can't hold on for the weather
Its going mad at me .

Oh!come on rain .
Don't let these feet and heat 
Give me rest.
Come on my reaper,
Water and give me shade.
Win the fight for me 
Because I wither .
Hear my dying sound.
