Tree Hugger...

When I awoke, I felt so bad
I went to hug my favorite tree
I thought about the fears I had
no one would fear, but me

"Too bad", I thought I heard it say
The bark, it scratched my face
I hugged it all the tighter
As my mind began to race

I'm losing it, I really am
"Too bad", I heard it say
Are my ears deciving me
Have I gone all the way?

"I will comfort you my friend
hold me close again."
Take me down the rabbit-hole
Take from me, my pain.

"My leaves will shield you from the sun
I will hold back the breeze.
My roots will anchor the soil, dear sir,
where you kneel upon your knees"

"I will do all this for you,
because I love you so."
My friend, the tree I love you,
now don't ever let me go.
