Whistling willows, barking birches surround me
Protect my solitude away from the clambering of my peers
Open my eyes to the natural beauty of the glistening leaves of a tree.
Politely put away my belongings and release my irrational social fears.
Will you watch over me?
Please perch your cooling canopies above.
Hide me away in your soft shadows
Like a curious rabbit in its blissful burrow.
Lullaby me between your hardy boughs
Soak up my terrified rainy tears
So to secure me as you grow so magnificent and tall.
But before your leaves fall tonight.
Before the time to head home.
Teach me your patience virtue.
Your freedom from fight or flight.
So I can fly among the skies of blue.
