A Tree's Wish

I want to sleep

There is a shiver

Running through my

My starry spine,

Creeping, seeping,

Through my resolute blood -

The sap of the world.

When this day ends,

My own celestial leaves

Will becomes part

Of this forzen, barren ground.

While harsh soil need not be tilled

By human hands,

I want to wake up

In warmer times,

When there are small

Ferns growing beneath my feet,

And fields of wheat to

My side. I want to sleep.
