i wrote this draft of a song from the perspective of a redwood tree
for oiadoette saccharine-saudade.
come down and sit under me we have a lot to share and see two thousand years and you’re a blip but we can rest for a little bit
you’re feeling pretty lost i guess ashes brewing in your chest put your hand in mine i’ll take you there don’t worry if it’s right or fair
leave your body join with mine no questions about space or time come to me i’ll wrap you up in infinite abounding trust
stay right here beyond this place senses lost without a trace just be with me your friendly loving local redwood tree
leave your nest upon your wings fly away from human things say goodbye to greed and strife drink my wisdom, hear my sighs
in the shade i gladly give i teach you, you teach me to live we’ll just exist serene and still and love will our bodies fill
and when you leave i will be sad but not too much, you’ve made me glad to know that as much that is wrong you’ll pass my wisdom gladly on
stay right here beyond this place senses lost without a trace just be with me your friendly loving local redwood tree
