A Tree's Story

 A wounded bird away from its flocks, 

On a snowy night right by the dock, 

Broken wings, unsure dreams, 

Your eyes like beads, of brownish hue,

I found you shivering without a clue.

And without a thought, right or not, 

I had offered you a home;

A temporary stay, a guest anyway

You were meant to leave one day. 

Yet my heart fluttered like my leaves, 

My branches danced, petals showered romance

I hopelessly fell in love with you.

You sang in the springs.

Danced in the rain, 

Let the autumn fall make a cosy bed.

And then your migratory friends arrived,

It was time for you to leave me behind.

A story of the past, adventurous and not to last. 

You flew away to your flocks.
