Hug Tree

A Poem

My hand softly laid on its trunk
Wondering what he feels
Like two lovers

The tree does not speak
Maybe he could hear me
Feel the love at my fingertips

Lost in its branches
Eyes full of tears
Dive into our memories

I was a young growth
He made me a man
A feeling of eternal gratitude

As I tenderly caress its bark
Like a farewell
I think I hear it crying
The great oak tree
