Tree Of Life

Tree of Life

A dead tree of life
Silhouetted in the sky
Empty black branches
Home of a raven

Sweet river trickling
Ambling round this tree
Memories of the past
Brought forth once again

Magnificant tree blossoming
Delicate flowers of love
Petals swept round by the wind
Forming a curtain of innocence

Hiding behind this blanket
You lay asleep with me
Content with knowledge of love
We were sure of eternity

But the petals blew away
Time derobed the branches
The cry of a solitary raven
Last words of a time gone by
