The oak and the bird

Far over a forest distant,covered with trees thick

Was home to an oak plant;life to it was mystique

Lying in the shadow of tall and gracious pine

the world seemed all good and assumably fine

One fine day, sun shining bright and plenty of light

Filled the forest with a sound; it was music alright

Hovering over the trees was a beautiful bird

singing and chirping with all its might

The oak was struck with wonder and delight

Started a conversation that was harmless in plain sight

Oak asked the bird to be its friend and sing for it

and the bird gently obliged.

The friendship grew stronger over passing time

it was as that the two of them had a common rhyme

The bird wanted to be closer to the oak

but had to contend with branches of other tall folk

The distance was there but it didn’t matter

Oak had a belief ;tied were they by a bond greater

Motivated the oak, grew with all its strength

Tallest and largest it became until he was spent

The oak and the bird were finally together

They wouldn’t be anywhere but here rather

Time stopped and waves were musical

Little did the oak know that he was being whimsical

The happiness was short-lived for the oak

As the bird decided that it was time to go

There were oceans to cross and forests to sing to

Being at one place was now against the freedom !

She bid farewell and was on her way

The oak tried to convince her but she didn’t sway

The happiness that was once there left only pain

The world didn’t make sense anymore,everything was insane

The oak wanted to make everything right

He wanted to hear the sound; that was music alright

Sadness was in the heart, staying happy became a fight

Tallest it was , but was still looking for some light.

Far over a forest distant,covered with trees thick

Was home to an oak plant;life to it was mystique !
