Trembling in the Wind

When you think the trees are dead, they surprise us once again

When the ocean meets the shore a new world greets

When the children’s laughter dies, does life still carry on

When suffocation replaces the life we knew, do we turn blue

When we throw poison in the wind expect to be poisoned slowly

When all is dark, she sits trembling in the wind

If she is given another chance, will it be her last

If a mother gives her love, will love give to her

If heaven reveals its beauty, do we depart prematurely

If the owl loses its way, do we lose ours

If most agree it’s fabulous, why do most agree it is

She sways high up in the boughs trembling in the wind

Then the day arrives and all is fine

Then she sleeps so soundly

Then her family cries

Then her family dies

Then she is carried away trailing their billowy splendor

Then we are left here trembling in the wind
