The Dreaming Tree is Alive

Here it is. The Dreaming Tree. Except it's still alive here. I want to do two more; one in which the tree is decaying, and another in which it is dead.

Inspired by DMB's 'Dreaming Tree', of course.

(My scanner ate it for breakfast...)



"Standing here
The old man said to me
'Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree'
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
What forever took to find

Now he's falling hard
He feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree
Conquered fear to climb
A moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed
Promised him she'd be his

Remembered mother's words
There beneath the tree
'No matter what the world
You'll always be my baby'
Mommy come quick
The dreaming tree has died
The air is growing thick
A fear he cannot hide
The dreaming tree has died


Oh have you no pity?
This thing I do
I do not deny it
All through this smile
As crooked as danger
I do not deny
I know in my mind
I would leave you now
If I had the strength to
I would leave you up
To your own devices
Will you not talk?
Can you take pity?
I don't ask much
But won't you speak?
Please?"

>Here's to Dreaming Tree at Alpine in '06! Stefan's tease at The Gorge last year was oh, so cruel....<

Enjoy. More on the way eventually.

Really. Someday... I will do the other two...
