The Story Of The Tree

There was a tree,

It stood all alone.

But it remembered a time from long, long ago.

When the lonely tree wasn't alone.

He had brothers and sisters,

Of Albany and Birch,

He also had cousins that were of Great Green Oak.

The family of trees,

Looked like soldiers in green.

They would stand side by side,

Protecting the scene.

The forest below,

Such a beautiful sight.

But one day,

When the sun came out to rise.

Over the mountain but behind the stream

The trees heard a sound,

That broke them deep beneath

The trees waved in the wind,

Wailing they’re helpless cries.

But not one soul could hear their screams at that time.

They tried to scatter,

And hideaway.

But they can’t,

For they are a tree.

So they stood up straight,

For they knew what was to come.

Their fate was soon now.

They could feel it come.

The sun went down and hid behind the clouds.

The clouds began to cry,

And hid their eyes.

The wind took off,

Around and around the trees.

So the wind was wailing,

The sun was at hiding.

And the rain was pouring.

And the trees?

The trees looked down at the dead stumps below.

And one by one,

They fell with a thump.

Tho trees were wood,

But one might say

  • Shallow

    She's a swan,
    How she sores
    Beautiful and elegant,
    more then one would ever wish
    He's an eagle,
    How he dives
    Strong as an ox
    Yet as shallow as a Hallow.
    Then Theirs The duck
    Who has not yet bloomed
  • Pretending

    You're the center of attention
    Everyone calling your name
    Everyone wants to sit by you 
    Just because your you
    Or the you they think you are
    They don´t know you're pretending 
    They don´t know the pain you keep inside
  • Imagine

    Imagine a world where we're all set free
    from all the worries we face every day.
    Imagine a world where you're always safe
    and can find peace.
    Imagine a world where no one will judge.
    You can be who you are, and that will be enough.
