I Put My Heart Inside of a Tree

I planted, I tended, I watered, I watched;
Each new sprout come about.

The chaos sprang into a song.
Singing to me night and day,
To come outside and play.

Along the way I saw,
The garden was home to many sorts of things,
The spider and snail spoke to me,
In their silent lairs.

Naturally, I thought to stay,
It would be a joy to live this way.
So I put my heart inside of a tree,
And felt the seasons pass through me.

I was joyfully radiant in my dress of leaves,
Just the right shade of chartreuse this spring for me!

In summer I made the deepening cool shade
Irresistible on a hot day.
Deliciously drinking every drop of water from the rain;
Luxuriating in the freedom from pain.

Harvest was a feast for all.
Releasing my bounty amidst a spectacular show.
With the falling leaves dancing,
In the fragrant cool air.

As each leaf fell I set my buds tightly on branches,
Showing my naked silhouette to the world,
A smile, as I watch the days unfurl…

I put my heart inside of a tree,
And found the nature inside of me.
