Quotes and Poetry on sycamore

The autumn leaf

Life is hard but for me, a golden autumn leaf
Floating dreamily solitary atop the pond
Shady trees with their fiery leaves
Still remind me of memories fond

Overlooking the pond in the village
I was a part of an umbrageous tree
Swishing and swaying gayly in the wind
I lived like a careless, carefree dupree

In the spring dressed in green robes
I was strong, glossy and able
Come summer I enjoyed the sunlight
In the summer breeze I was adept and stable

Attached to the old world sycamore I lived
Among friends and family together
Thought I did we would merrily live
As a powerful unit forever

Come the fall, we went from wearing greens
To cloaks in oranges, reds and golds
We started swaying in the chilly draft
And breathing in the autumn cold

One day a great gust broke me off
From the cluster of the other leaves
I sauntered slowly down to the pond
Half golden, half dried like the rest of the tree

And on the calm waters I lay silently watching
Waiting for the others to join me now
Forming a golden pathway by the pond
They fell away from the shady bough

I watched as they were swept away
By autumn’s chilly winds to different lands
I was destined to die alone and lonely
Why me, I couldn’t really understand

But till that day arrived I decided I would
Not be like other leaves but float aimlessly
I would watch as the world passed me by
Unworried, unattached, nonchalantly

Slowly as winter came I lost the golden sheen
Completely dried and wilted I became
I was ready to pass on to better worlds
I knew in death life wouldn’t be the same

And then one day, just like that it came for me
Like any another day I was floating alone
I perished with an eye till the very end
On my beloved now bare sycamore .

Sycamore •

oh what a pretty song
heard through the sycamore trees
oh what a pretty song
she's singing down on her knees

oh what a pretty day
for all the birds to be chirping
oh what a pretty way,
a pretty way to go

oh what a beautiful sunrise
bathing the forest in light
oh what a beautiful maiden
soon to give up the fight

oh on that beautiful morning
you wouldn't have ever guessed
the third year anniversary
of her three year old son's death

oh what a pretty song
you can hear through the sycamore trees
oh but if you listen too closely
the sound could just make your ears bleed

she was a fair kind-hearted maiden
who gave birth at just sixteen
the father had left her to go to war
wearing five shades of camouflage green

oh how she longed for his return,
counting on sycamore leaves
sorrow and hope were the most she could feel
as she sat by the sycamore trees

winter came and then went by
and with it went her dreams
her child fell ill and she held him close
til' no longer did he breathe

now it's such a beautiful morning
birds still chirp heavy in song
oh what a pretty voice singing
quietly but not for long

she undid the pin in her hair
and took in a big shaky breath
the soil mushed up and clung to her knees
the revolver just lay on her left

oh what a pretty song
heard through the sycamore trees
oh what a wonderful voice
simply echoing into the breeze

just a mere five minutes ahead
the flowers are tinged with red
and the beautiful maiden
has ended her song,
to join kin in heaven instead

oh what a pretty day
for all the birds to be chirping
oh what a pretty way,
a pretty way to go
