Sapling

Sleep while u can
For death is inevitable for a man
Like you and me
For all the reasons i flee was to escape reality, the tree
Which stands on my chest,
It keep going deeper and deeper.

It has surrounded the soil,
It grows tighter and tighter and
Suddenly I feel lighter
Even though I can’t breathe.
But just let me be
For this is what was meant for me.

And now I’m gone, but yellow will remind you of me,
Rain pours, carries the old.
Green shines bright
As if it were the only light
Joy surrounded, for this is profounded.
