The tree cradling the twitter of birds and the squirrel's call Outside my bedroom window, now-doesn't stand tall. It was the source of my delight. A tree, on my way to work, just yesterday- It was tall with vibrant blooming buds. But today, it doesn't veil the sky's grey. My favorite tree on the sidewalk, They shunned its leafy arms from rising higher- It was interrupting the electric wire. While their dead stories are littered around the street like a treasure And their lonely roots away from the day's light, Their glory days remain etched in my vision forever.

Lonely Roots
The tree cradling the twitter of birds and the squirrel's call Outside my bedroom window, now-doesn't stand tall. It was the source of my delight. A tree, on my way to work, just yesterday- It was tall with vibrant blooming buds. But today, it doesn't veil the sky's grey. My favorite tree on the sidewalk, They shunned its leafy arms from rising higher- It was interrupting the electric wire. While their dead stories are littered around the street like a treasure And their lonely roots away from the day's light, Their glory days remain etched in my vision forever.
