What if... there were no trees?

The world's so grey,

at least from the spot

where I lay.

We can't breathe,

not without your

beautiful leaves.

Life is dead,

because you kept

us fed.

We took you for granted,

so it's in your right

to make us wait

until you are fully planted.

No rustle of your leaves

No beauty of your flowers.

Please come back, dear trees,

we finally understand your powers.
