By Your Leaves

She crept into the valley,
With her hands across her chest,
"I am now awoken,
By the scurry of the pests"

She took my hand and told me,
That I am the one she needs,
As the wind and sunlight,
Smirks at the scene and heed.

We never die from sadness,
Only the action that it breeds,
Embarrassment scares us,
But only ignorance defeats.

And the sound of hurried man,
Play on across the ears,
Of calm and complacent boys,
Who's counting down the years.

To when they'll finally see the world,
And say "There goes my girl"
"The one I'm going to marry"
or "Bury with her pearls"

The earth is only thinking now,
For whatever I should be,
A simple wall for every thing,
A floor for those whom are free.

Or for the captured bleeding men,
In chains they trudge along,
I don't need your sacrifices,
Your blood is not my song.

But yet we slay in perpetuity,
Yet by your side I would love to stay,
For eternity.

'Cause trees will sometimes make a fuss,
And fall unto our knees,
Entrapped by all this nature,
And freed only by your leaves.
