Tree

One day I was walking along a sea shore
On which played the waters, so sprightly they were
And as they splashed, they sang a song
It was a lovely, enchanting song
Gratifying my heart, my mind, my soul
They sang for me, for themselves, for all

Then to me, reached a fragrance
So profound it was, that it made me follow
And led me to another sea
A sea of flowers, a sea of colour

Green, orange, purple they were
And of all the colors I could think of
They signified the vivid colors of life
In between them, I could not help a smile

All of a sudden, above the field;
Lightning flashed and thunder rung
It could be heard loud and clear
It heralded the arrival of rain
Which washed away my sins
And swept away my fears

The rain did stop but reminded me of
How wonderful the nature is

But just as I was returning through the woods
A distant sound made me halt
It was the malicious cutting of trees
The trees could not wail
The trees could not cry

But deep inside my heart I could hear
Their cries for help, their fear for death
It made me ponder for a moment in sorrow-

The Eden that I saw today
Would it be there for me tomorrow?
