LIKE A NAKED TREE

autumn trees

Just like the leaves on a tree

You protected me from

This cruel world.

Just like those beautiful

Yellow flowers on the tree

My love bloomed for you.

Just like a canary on a tree

You made my life

Musical and cheerful.

You became the roots

That made me stand strong

Alive and beautiful.

From just being

A naked tree trunk filled with sorrow and pain

You blessed me with life, leaves and flowers.

But unexpectedly

Autumn came

Everything was blown off.

The leaves shed off me

Flowers fell off me

Birds stopped singing on top of me.

Today I stand here stark naked

Just like a naked tree

Without its leaves and flowers.

May I ask

Why must spring come

If autumn makes you shed it all?
