The Bitterness of Trees

by EoB   May 7, 2006


My dreams of late are filled with grief.
I see in them a lonesome leaf
afloat within a silent breeze.
So deep the bitterness of trees.

For they have not been swept away,
from where they have been bound to stay.
I saw in them, what no one sees
So deep the bitterness of trees.

To live and grow upon their tomb,
what dreadful life, what bitter doom.
I heard them weeping in the breeze
So deep the bitterness of trees

My dreams of late are filled with grief.
So deep the bitterness of trees.

    Really enjoyed this - "
    To live and grow upon their tomb,
    what dreadful life, what bitter doom." Best line imho, a great read.
