An Elegy Of The Tree

I still remember that sunny day,
I think it was the 1st of May.
That’s the day when my life begun,
That’s the day I saw the sun.

I was so happy, I even cried,
even though I’m a tree, I am alive.
A little boy came and watered me every day,
“Gugu, gaga” was everything he could say.

Few years have passed and here I am,
And here’s the boy- my lovely Sam.
He came here every day, he spoke to me,
That was when I started to see.

He was my friend, he was my brother.
I even knew more then his own mother.
I still remember every word he said,
I still remember the first day we met.

Twenty, thirty years have passed
And I’m still standing, I’m not the last.
Sam’s sitting under the tree,
He’s writing, he’s speaking to me.

I feel the bond between him and me,
Between the human and a simple tree.
Was he unusual or was he not?
Yes, he was and I liked him a lot.

A group of people came one day,
I couldn’t understand what they did say.
They cut me with sharp things,
It felt like an Angel losing his wings.

The first blood as they started to cut,
Believe me- It hurt a lot.
And here comes the heart…
They begun to tear it apart.

But… The time has stopped…
I remembered everyone I loved.
I could hear The Mother Earth cry,
Because her sons were about to die.

I could hear my brothers screaming so loud,
No one could hear them because of the crowd.
The whole forest was in an enormous pain,
It felt like the blood was boiling in our veins.

I felt so sorry for the human race.
There’s so much more they’re going to face.
If I could speak, I’d say a word,
But they don’t deserve it, they feel too strong.

The moment of silence, a moment of still,
The sound of birds, of spinning mill.
Though we’ve lost the battle,
The war was still ahead.
