####
I sit beneath the great tree
The leaves gently kissing my face
As I sit beneath the branches
I am waiting for you
#
The moments lost fly on swift wings
Far off into the distance
My life here is ending
As I sit beneath the tree
#
What fantasies whirled through my head
Have all but crumbled into dust
To be blown away by the wind of ages
As I sit beneath the tree
#
Love as hesitant as a winter flower
Does wilt in the drought of hate
My soul rots, tainted with malice
As I sit beneath the tree
#
Broken though my heart may be
Still I will wait forever
Clasped in the embrace of the tangled roots
As I sit beneath the tree
#
What lies before me, I do not know
The future I once saw is long since gone
But I will one day gain my freedom
As I sit beneath the tree
