O tree, imposing and magnificent
Composed and dignified you stand
Getting hurt but never cause hurt
Do you know pain, as we do?
Do you shed tears when you cry?
* * *
Beneath your weepy branches
How many anguished souls have you seen?
Do you cringe and go to pieces
As lives perish before your eyes?
Does your heart split asunder
Watching lovers go insane
As they say their last goodbye?
* * *
How do you sway with rustling leaves,
Watching people go astray
And civilizations fade away?
How do you keep your cheeky smile,
Despite the horrors you have seen?
* * *
O tree, beautiful and free
Did a passer-by ever stop by
Whisper in your ears
“Soulmate, I love 💕 you”?
