For a Tree

She was a friend,
In many more ways than a man could be:

Just last night,
She held me high up in her arms
And together we watched the sailing stars.

And this morning,
Teasingly, she waved at me in the wind
And I embraced her with the greed of a lover.

But when I returned,
In the hot hours of the day today
Only earth remained where she once stood;
She had to go I was told 
To make room for a parking space.
