I split the earth
On a sunlit day
Tears fell slow
Washed the dust away

Light was kind
It met my green
Gave me strength
I felt seen

The wind was gentle
It carried a song
Brushed my leaves
I danced along

I grew new branches
My stem got thicker
Beneath my skin
The weather turned bitter

Young and naive
I faced the storm
Marks of that struggle
In my bark took form

The wind was gentle
It carried a song
I couldn't feel it
Something was wrong

Light returned
I was not the same
My green was there
But no fruit ever came

I felt lonely
I cried for a reason
I told myself
This is my last season

The wind was gentle
It carried a song
I couldn't hear it
I didn't belong

A cloud passed by
It cleared my sight
My green was weak
But I still could write

I turned the page
Shaped a new verse
Next wind
My soul I'll immerse

The wind was gentle
It carried me on
Soft and patient
All along

I sensed a breeze
I tuned in
Green smile
Above my chin

I heard it low
I felt it clear
It sang the truth
Right in my ear

The wind is gentle
It carries me on
Pure love
Steady and strong

Today I feel
The waves are real
I sing the green
And let me heal
