Lonely Tree

I saw a tree and wished to stay
But barks frowning uncomfortably
Its branches flapped along the wind
Around this one tree,
The landscape was flat
There was a big hole
Big enough to see the other side
The wind echoed through the hollow tree
But it sounded painful
And alone it stands in the flat landscape
There I saw a tree, but I felt the pain it possessed
The leaves waved in the wind
I wanted to stay but the sun won't stay up for too long
And it was time to go home
I came back and the tree was gone
Left behind was a pile of leaves
It wasn't there anymore
But somehow the leaves looked happy
As the wind carried the leaves, they smiled and said goodbye
I saw a tree, but wasn't alone anymore
