A Lament to A Hazelnut Tree,
by T. J. Shemaly |
O Hazelnut tree come and listen testify by thy roots above me here lies my heart where it is hidden dusted by the dust and gloomy O Tree of the first time when when we met and smiled and did sit did you testify not that time when when hand in hand we did go and went Yes, take the tears of this eye forever what for I need them now and then blooming you are despite the weather and here my fragile heart lies broken O Tree once gave the life before the life got sick of my life in this life have you forgotten what happened afore then my mind keeps a record of this life The laughter was recorded in your bark and there where we drew our dreams ask your leaves if you dare then to ask did they not fall after my shouts and screams? My destiny it is O my beloved tree to lose after the finding of what was found Is it me or simply I could not see but then look with me down to this ground My sadness shall go and will and going it will be with my tears falling still and falling they will be O Hazelnut of my life and this heart by thy roots did I bury the sweet and from here shall we go and part one to the ground, and I to the street |
