There is this tree that I instantly noticed when i walked up the hill to meet you. It isn't a healthy big tree standing tall and looking above everything. NO, it is rather bowed down like it despairs. Well, why not..It has to have a sad aura around it for it has overlooked your last resting place for thousands of heartbeats now. It saw my tears and heard me talking to you over the years and now this .. another grave dug right in front of it.
It saw me break down the moment I saw the two graves side by side , one freshly made and the other covered with a thin layer of dust. It saw me wail silently at the loss that has left my life in rumble. I feel closest to this tree at the moment, close enough to sit by it at the sunset and talk to it. Talk to it about you my beloveds, two hearts made of gold ,lost under a pile of earth.
Feelings, not words .. not even a faint sound ... Oh how i wish to just sit there .. day in and day out .. by the foot of your grave and rest my head on it.. with no sense of time and space.. I want to miss you with every nerve and cell of my body with every ounce of energy and with every shred of love I have! I want to sit by the tree and miss you.. let the world dissolve around me , let the faces fade.. let the seasons annul and let the time flow by .. I wouldn't want to stir , not even with the heartache.. not even when the heart breaks.. I wouldn't want to stir at all.. Did you hear the tree sigh? It sighed .. it saw .. it saw through me, the pain that pierces my body like sharp needles. It saw the burden of the unsaid words and baggage of the future that won't happen.
If anyone would ask, I would tell them that 'the tree by the graves' is the most precious thing in the world for me. For it stands tall over you, gives you shade and keeps you company. Oh, I have tied my heart around it for you to see how it beats and bleeds for you. How a portion of it has crystallized and how my childhood has frozen inside. How we are all together and how our smiles shine through the translucence brightening up the lonely nights. How every breath is a prayer and how every tear is a hope. How our laughter echoes through the night , how fear is only a myth. How I love the graveyard better than a home now.. How it is the home now..
