Alive

An old and wizened tree in the forest with the hardest core
Each fruit secure, new and without bore
Fires have they endured but new bark has made the scars beautiful
Many winters, summers passed, some barren others bountiful
What once was soft and green
Is now hard and gray, torn, sad, angry even
If it's the end this tree shall be dearly missed
Even if its latter days haven't seen much happiness

It is whispered through the leaves
And it blows across my mind
Hopes of one last burst of song
My longing ear sure longs to find

Reincarnated of the time
When everything was young and melodies
Of a joyous heart were sung
