The Wilted Tree
Whilst strolling cross the alley
I saw a wilted tree
It’s roots and stems, they’ve sprouted
But unrested like me
Nuff water for it’s flourish
Nuff sunlight for its burns
And leaves on every other branch
It’s bounty awfully yearned
A few of light pink flowers
They’ve scattered and look scarce
Some fading, waiting showers,
to recolor it’s flares
And maybe some new flowers
Might bloom another day
But there’s a hopeful essence
In this incomplete bouquet
The soil beneath polluted
But baring fruit and life
Like me a stroll away from school
A walk worthy of strife
And as a wilted tree it sands
Bit’ shaken, just like me
It’s dirt can be the pinkest sand
And pretty flowers, like the sea
