I want to live in a tree

I WANT TO LIVE IN A TREE (E A D G B E)

 

I want to live in a tree in a bush near the ocean. Where the sun wakes up every single day. And the glow of the moon dances on the water. And you feel it in every single leaf.

 

And when the wind turns I’ll be the first to know. In the afternoon, how it bounces off the sand. And the sunlight fades but I know it’s not gone. And the sky goes black but it’s not for long.

 

And the stars come out and sing lullabies. I close my eyes and I’m all wrapped up. Watching the world from inside my trunk.

 

And I’ll wake in the morning to a flurry of wonder. Cicadas will yell and kookaburras will laugh. And as I land with a thud on the dirt I’ll laugh too but I won’t know why. I want to live in a tree.
