how you would chance upon me
in this most beautiful moment
for this
i have prayed to the heavens for 500 years
prayed for our earthly fate
the heavens destined me as a tree,
rooted beside the road on which you walk.
in the sunlight, cautiously flowers abloom
each blossom, the hope of my past lives.
as you draw near,listen carefully.
those shivering leaves are the fervor
of my anticipation
and as you finally walk by without regard,
behind you, there falls...
friend, those aren't flower petals.
it is my withered heart.
*- just you and me
