Conversation With a Tree

He’s walking towards the drawn out breeze of a mid summer week His legs tell him to take a seat underneath a green tree top canopy And as he slowly rests his knees he hears a voice spoken from the leaves They ask him who he is and why he lies there like a desiccated fallen leaf These aren't the days of the broken hearted These aren't the whispers of our dearly departed This is a time for self-reflection a hard long look of a souls intentions Like a soul searching journey embarking on the hearts of the lonely The Limelight sun takes a break from its day, and as the moon comes out it begins to say; brighten up boy you’re young and full of hope Don’t hang yourself up by the rope, it’s a fools world when you forget to reach for the stars, when your eyes close for a moments night and you lose your will to fight
