Drifting down from the heights,
I witnessed the dancing branches,
swaying to the streaming breeze,
bidding farewell, by waving twigs...
And I watched silently,
softly carried by the wind,
whispering words of praise,
of providing food & the shades.
The sky dazzles, with golden rays,
warming surface, one last time,
as moisture leaves, drying inside,
greenery lost to brownish sheen.
Further & further, distance grew,
from these crown, once I knew,
looking at trunk, on the sides,
getting distant, and I realized.
I was part, of a great tree,
working tirelessly, performing duty,
even in disruptions, bugs and bees,
yet being protected, from the threats.
So I reflect, on days that passed,
chills of nights, sunshine warmth,
listening pleasant sounds, nature's activities,
in the squeaks, whistles, chirruping outside.
Slowly I reached, felt the mound,
with fallen brethren, on the ground,
while earth beckoning, for my role,
there's one last task, left to be done...
In my last breath, still being content,
a life worthwhile, from birth to death,
so, let me assimilate, as I embrace,
the soil beneath, waiting for my decay.
Letting the nutrients, return to roots!
