Dead Trees
Flying away to leave the old dead tree behind
The tree that was felled by ignorance
Hoping that at my return it would be gone
Not framed in eternal memory with green grass and flowers
There lie many dead tree trunks nowadays
Cut down from many people on their way to heaven
how far is it for them ? –
I guess a long long road – of never ending barren lands
Like cut off limps from a once healthy body
As long the spirit is second the material suffers too
Even birds prefer trees with leaves and blossoms.
The tree that was felled by ignorance
Hoping that at my return it would be gone
Not framed in eternal memory with green grass and flowers
There lie many dead tree trunks nowadays
Cut down from many people on their way to heaven
how far is it for them ? –
I guess a long long road – of never ending barren lands
Like cut off limps from a once healthy body
As long the spirit is second the material suffers too
Even birds prefer trees with leaves and blossoms.
