These Trees

THESE TREES

Forever gone
Is what I thought
And then you’re here
And then you’re not
All alone without my voice Without a guide

In the woods
No sound or sight
Without a word Without a light
There I stood Wondering why
And then...

These trees started speaking
These leaves started swirling
And I swear
The sky came down
Wrapped me up
And turned me around

So many years
Lived underground
Even the sun became too loud
I wished away the need I had
The need to sing

Who’s eyes are these
Who is this face
Forgot the world
Forgot my place
And there I lay
No time or space
And then...
