Weeping Tree Weeping tree In a place I haven't known Only known to our forefathers You've been told in tales Giants of the land have journeyed In quest for your warm embrace While the minute ants from the dust Have ignorantly grazed Right under your mysteries You've been a mystery to the seeker But a treasure to the holder Weeping tree What haven't you been? You've cast a shade under for the goats to rest You've sprouted branches for the birds to roost The nests that host future generations Are founded and knitted upon you You've been shelter to the needy You've shouldered Mother Nature's mistakes A bearer of comfort and affection A groomer of the future A harbour of hope Weeping tree But you've showed to me your other shade You enticed me with your collectedness Wooed me with your sentimental stance And lured me with your sweet reverberations We closed the distance between us I found my share of the forever told mystery Your embrace warm over me But you got a little more harsh on me Like the broad wings of an angel Your branches covered me You brought me close to your stem, roughly Your embrace turned into an engulf Your pats into slaps You pressed, you smothered You let me die inside of you While I died inside of me I died I hope you weep Weeping tree Mongi C.
