Romanie's world and WOX - Literary Contest: little poem

in hive-185836 •  3 years ago  (edited)

Yggdrasil cries

Protect I would
Feed them oh mother
Share my roots with them

I did not know
That they would not see oh mother
How I watch over them

Oh dear mother
They lift me from the ground
Their buildings come between
Me and you
They do not look up
Their fires smoke between
Me and you
Their plans do not remember
Of me or you

Shelter I would
Inspire them oh mother
With them share my crown

Now my leaves fall
As green diamonds
And my tears
Will quench all fires
