Sometimes, maybe once in a hundred years,

I remember how it was, floating through space and spheres.

Time was just born, barely an hour,

We were just particles, no tree nor flower.

Sometimes, maybe once in a decade,

I remember a girl sitting under my shade.

One Day playing, one day dreaming,

One day drawing, one day screaming.

Humanity was just born, just a few years,

And yet, they celebrated with shouts and cheers.

But she sat there, under my crown,

Watching humans till the sun goes down.

Sometimes, every time my leaves fall,

I remember a shadow, fast and tall.

He hid a paper, a note in my bark,

But when I looked he was gone in the dark.

Sometimes, every time the snow falls down,

I remember kids playing in a park, in a town.

I remember at night, how I hear bells ringing,

Reindeers flying while choirs are singing.

Sometimes, every time new Green awakes,

I remember lovers, cuddling on a blanket in their breaks.

I try to smile, but only move in the breeze,

My leaves just swish when he falls on his knees.

Sometimes, more than once in a year,

I remember the crashing, the fire, the fear.

The same humans, once laughing, once dancing,

Killing my brothers without glancing

And I can’t move, can’t scream, can’t shout,

when fire takes me now no doubt.

Never have I thought it would end this way,

The same humans who laugh and play,

Taking me away.
