100 years ago

100 years ago we were trees
You an oak, and I a willow
And how we grew together
Entwining our thousand branches

Do you remember my blossoms?
I gave you each one
And you the strong oak
Sheltered me

Do you remember our life together?
Our lives that shook in the storm
But remained rooted in the ground
And even our roots took the time to knit together

Do you remember the rain?
And how it ran across us
And soothed our parched insides
Each ring soaking up glory

Do you remember how I lifted my arms?
How I lifted my arms and covered you
I covered you from the worst of it
And lost a million blooms

Do you remember the lovers?
Who sat under our shade and kissed for us
And how they climbed upon us
and made love within our arms

100 years ago we were trees
You an oak, and I a willow
And how we grew together
Do you remember?
