Analysis of When Trees Wept
We perfectly stood still
We perfectly breathed life
But I never knew my small arms
Could give more than just a tickle of a warm flame
These colorful green crowns
Feeds the small people below
Or how my body builds high places
How I wish I can see the the teal whispers of my kin
But we are all left
Stumped by the quick chops
Of the warm hands
We once warmed with this branches
