Hmm, today too the blue has changed.

It has gathered too much ash

Making it a bit darker.

It is going to drop it’s crystal liquid,

But I think it will be a heavy one like last time.

I’m going to stand still, hmm.

But let me get the leaves for hut as shade.

That the birds and insects can be protected.

As they run home from play fields and school.

But I shouldn’t forget those down there at the root

As they are also humans.

Today the blue is blue.

It is going to be sunny,

Another nice bad day for me and my children.

The leaves are running dry

And the roots cannot get deep enough.

But I must feed them

Even though I wither.

For they are but just insects and birds,

Very fragile.

Oh rains of angel.

Do come to quench my thirst.

As I stand like a tree

Forsaken by the entire forest.
