Life flies literally

As dew drops fall from great heights, sunshine's reflecting off of my leaves making me glow

I’ve seen everything, and life has grown around, chirping echoes in the distance, leaves gliding in the wind flying so they one day land and create a new life

As a puddle forms under the shield of my leaves, life spreads around me

Meadows, forests and life enclose me. It was peaceful for years, but was ruined in a matter of seconds. My memory’s slipping away at my fingertips, yet it flows a million miles away
Still the sun shines down on us but there is no warmth, no joy, only tears

And the puddle of dew gathered by my trunk. Now there are only fears

Once I was surrounded by grass, trees and nature but now, it feels bare

I sway in the wind dancing all along. Life has been taken and I don’t know if it will ever return. You're given one life, one chance at life and if not cherished it will slip away
