For Once, Once Again

                                           For once, once again

In the vastness of sand it stood

Not many but a lonesome tree,

Its bark turned dark

And its leaves I long to be seen.

It’s the sun, it needs to be blamed

For it burned the bark

And the lively, lush green leaves.

But now it longs,

For nothing else,

But the heavenly shower

And for one time

The leaves must smile

And of course it dance

To the rhythm of wind

For one more time

Its branch must spread

And once again

A pair of birds must dwell.

The haven must listen

May not be for many times though

For the tree has aged

But for one more last time,

And just, one last time.
