In Memory of Trees

I saw a tree
A massive tree
Alive and luscious Strong and beautiful
I climbed the tree
I saw the vast scenery
But nothing compared to my tree
My tree stood tall
My tree permitted me to climb it
My tree held me
With my feet dangling
I looked at the pale sky
I felt it close
I smelt the air
My tree breathed with me
I placed my back on its trunk
I felt its spirit
It was happy to have me
Good company
Three little birds sat with me
Curiousity in their eyes
As I reached for them
They flew away
But welcoming
They always came back
I talked to my tree
It answered me
Forever I sat on my tree
Dusk was now approaching
Time has gone by
Time for goodbyes
I climbed down
Sad that I was leaving
Joyful that I had met the tree
I told it that it was mine
Always my tree
As I walked away
It was fast disappearing
But I know
When I come back
I'll find that same tree
And again have good company
Until next time my friend
That time will come
Soon
Eventually
