THE TREE SPEAKS

From a small plant to a shady tree,
I grew up so huge and free.
Squirrels and an owl lived here.
Oh! What a joy, I can't compare.

The squirrels scampered up 'n' down,
the owl stayed still in feathery gown.
They stayed with me, loved me - all.
Those were happy times before winter fall.

I turned from green to yellow - nature's sake.
Their love was hollow, void and fake.
All left; The last to leave was the owl
who seemed wise but played me foul.

Here now the lonely 'ME' in barren lies,
'my sighs' remain while cutting worldly ties.
