Word Tree
We are the roots
spread far and wide
Are joined together with pride
The word, the energy
a thought, the seed
each day we grow
Into many branches
each bud creating
leaves as words
Many form to fall
onto the paper
that waits
This becomes a dictionary
made from the original
seed, the tree
Color me purple
color me green
Color we create
from the leaves
on the tree to
the flowers
Each petal the jewel
To crystallize that
magic spark
That is felt in the heart
Music created as strings
are plucked
Sap from the trees
and the flowers
the juices flow
Into pearl drops- fall
magical crystals
to perform
The way the light falls
in the sunsets
the sunrise
Light on the water
forever change
sparkling bright
The river of life
that turns into rain
creating life again
Rain feeds the seed
makes it grow into
the tree of life
That creates the words
and the paper that waits
for them to fall upon
Never ending story
The circle of life
Continues
spread far and wide
Are joined together with pride
The word, the energy
a thought, the seed
each day we grow
Into many branches
each bud creating
leaves as words
Many form to fall
onto the paper
that waits
This becomes a dictionary
made from the original
seed, the tree
Color me purple
color me green
Color we create
from the leaves
on the tree to
the flowers
Each petal the jewel
To crystallize that
magic spark
That is felt in the heart
Music created as strings
are plucked
Sap from the trees
and the flowers
the juices flow
Into pearl drops- fall
magical crystals
to perform
The way the light falls
in the sunsets
the sunrise
Light on the water
forever change
sparkling bright
The river of life
that turns into rain
creating life again
Rain feeds the seed
makes it grow into
the tree of life
That creates the words
and the paper that waits
for them to fall upon
Never ending story
The circle of life
Continues
