Branches stretching in the dark,
Please soothe my heart.
Dance in the open window
And steal the stress that rests.
I won't sleep until then, I guess.
And please find time
To paint your leaves—it'll help,
I believe.
Make me feel
What you feel when the fires burn.
I want to learn—to turn
Into someone I won't recognize.
Like when the seasons roll by,
And you are not the same,
But you're the one and only
Tree.
Please resurrect me
And make me see.
