Tree of Waters
I sit from afar, a traveling star,
Looking out to another world,
A world coming ever so closer.
It was full of life, beautiful and untouched.
Waters sprouted from the surface,
The spring governed by a great Aspen tree.
Waters so clean and clear
Spread healthily around this world.
A top stood a woman, strong at heart And as
Kind and beautiful as the planet she ruled.
Her smile guided me through the dark
And her words put me down playfully.
I saw the spark that made her jump,
And confusion struck me as I figured out
Her secret that she hid of me.
But I couldn't keep her happy.
She showed me many things,
Her favorite thing a clear crystal
That seemed to reflected my light.
I look through it a lot only to find her
Smiling on the other side.
Regret seeping into me as we get closer.
I want to warn her, but she refuses to listen.
For light can burn if you get to close.
Closer she gets, learning more about me
As I learn more about her understanding.
She learns of the darkness inside my core,
But she doesn't run away from it.
Her smile now warming my heart
Brightens my day everytime I see it.
I find myself thinking of her more
Daydreaming of a time we could share.
Out of nowhere, a darkness inside
Comes over me, tormenting others around.
Yet with insanity overcoming my soul,
This queen stays, giving me words so sweet.
She opens up her arms till I give in,
Letting her into my light but she did not burn.
She smiled brighter than before and for once
I could smile back with happiness in me.
Confusion strikes me as she manifests into my mind.
The feelings I see coming from her are reflected back.
Our time getting ever so longer as we share smiles,
And not once have I seen that smile fade before me.
But all things change ever so quickly.
A day when her smile is replaced with tears,
Gives me a chance to show I'm here for her too.
And after the day is finished an unexpected kiss is given.
That was the last time I saw that queen,
The very last time I saw that wonderful place.
I try to find her but only find darkness.
Then I see a planet, dark and dry without life.
A crater in its surface that seemed familiar in a way,
But I could not figure it out until I see it.
That clear crystal she loved so dear lying broken.
It was her home, the place now foreign to me.
Her tree gone and a big hole to take its place,
No longer giving its Waters to its surface.
Like a lost puppy I search our favorite spots,
And the places she liked to go visit only to find nothing.
I search for her, and think about her night and day.
And as darkness struggles to pierce what light I had left,
I continue to come out empty handed each time.
Now I keep a close eye on the glass she kept and hold on.
