TREE

Come take me away
My dear tree
For you provide protection

Let me fly in
Your branches
As the wind blows through

I shall not breathe
As I take comfort
Among your cover

You give me freedom
From the abusive
Traitor of my body

You hold me tightly
Among your strong
Arms called branches

I can become you
As a camouflage
In the day and night

I am safe and
Unseen from the
Cruel predator seeking me

Thank you loving tree
For out of it
I have been given life
