Branches of the Past

In the wilderness, a tree so old live by
A tree so tall and firm and brawny and dry
Amidst the foggy lawn
The droplets in its every leaves, in the morning sun
Shines like a twinkling fairy glitter having fun

I think that tree felt cold; it existed long before I
I couldn't utter words for birds are enjoying their time--
    they seem so jolly and alive

Then, a fruit fell right before my eyes
It was covered with dirt, cracked; I sighed

I could understand then, when the fruit is ripe
It needs to go and live its life;
It could never grow if it still hangs there with the fruits that live in his time
