when my time arrives,
and my body dies,
i want my ashes in the roots of a tree
and in a hundred years or so,
when my souls no longer cold
i will grow into a home
i could house a tire swing, of a young girl.
i could be the place of her first kiss, underneath my leaves
the shade of a sunset,
and a still autumn breeze
but time passes as i live in the hollow of an oak tree
every branch contains a piece of me
and i hope that young girl sits on the branch that contains my poetry
and as she grows to understand,
she slowly becomes a man
and in my tree he sits
the slow soul of a poet
on his tire swing
he will feel things for the sky,
and the sun and the stars
he will live in his humble home of a tree
and maybe then he'll know
hes a lot like me
