Ohh prodigious tree, So how it feels now? To be surrounded by the serenity of charm The birds are finally gone, it's with you, your warm! Ohh prodigious cloud, So how it feels now? To shed off the burden, and sleep with the void The water without you is devoid But atleast, now you aren't paranoid! Ohh prodigious...
