As The Last Tear Falls

After the last rain drop falls 
And my last tear is shed 
It seeps deep into the tired earth 

Moisture craved soil sprouts to life, 
Growing up my legs toward the suns light 
Blossoming fragrant red flowers, 
Flowers that grow from it's stem. 

I begin to change , evolve 
I am no loner human, 
Instead I have become a plant with a human heart 
Bearing fruit for gossiping birds - 
And pollen hungry bugs of the forest 

I allow soft wind to caress my leaves, 
Cradling me from side to side 
Freeing my branches - 
Sending them hurling into the crisp spring sky 
Releasing my hope of eternal innocence 

I release my pollen into the atmosphere 
It soars with a twirl through the sky 
Skimming past fellow trees 
Teasing them with my offer of giving 
Comming to a rest upon a perfect bloom 

A bloom that cries 
Yes, I will allow you to grow strong and free 
Yes, I will allow you bend freely in the breeze 
Yes, you are always welcome to be!
