Gray strangler fig
With curly willow twigs
Not like a redwood stands free
The stems and the branches
Won't end where I plan and
The roots will consume anything
Green Angel Oak
I envy you the most
Your beauty is not twice the same
When I join you in the Earth
I'll pick you to grow as first
I hope that's how you got your Name
And in the autumn
Leaves fall to their doom
But spring's got 'em
If they're asked to rebloom
It may warm come December
But the leaves must remember
To wait, it's just a breeze too soon
Prince, we still hear you sing
Through the Japanese Wisteria Tree
Is that the one you chose to be
Gray strangler fig
With curly willow twigs
Not like a redwood stands free
The stems and the branches
Won't end where I plan but
The roots are as strong as can be
And in the autumn
Leaves fall to their doom
But spring's got 'em
If they're asked to rebloom
It may warm come December
But the leaves must remember
To wait, it's just a breeze too soon
