reinalie jorolan - ((((The Tree))))

if i were to live again
i'll take my chances to be a tree
up where the tallest mountains were
for wishing is all this heart could tell
.....so i'll head on....
upon that little portion of my land
i'll try to nurture the life around,
and hum the night's mystic sound
for dreaming is all this heart could dare
........so i'll head on
and as i sit there all day
I'll learn the nature's philosophy
i take it that maybe...
i wont be all too well, joyous and free
(the same as human's have lived for and came to see)
but even to the sickening darkness there maybe
i'll take comfort from the dewdrops that hanged by me
and be filled with gladness
by the winged fumes of the sea breezes
then this little soul will whisper praises
for being a humble witness
of the world's grandest interplays...
