The rain gently cleanses me from my leaves to my trunk
Those wonderful caresses leaves tears of joy in my eyes.
The winds blows violently,
The sky lights up with thunder and lightning.
He has brought friends to fight with me this time.
My roots dig deep within the soil daring the elements to “MOVE ME”!
My branches move but I do not break,
I do not bend ….
Only swaying back and forth…in my wild exotic dance…
For you… my jealous lover …only for you.
I grow tired of his games, his emotions gone out of control
In his mind he must have forgotten that I was once and am still a sight to behold.
I must remind him of who I am
My beauty … my strength …
All of the things that made him fall in love…mind, body and soul.
The wind continues to blow and I continue to dance leaving all who wonder by …mesmerized.
Hypnotizing them with the dip of my hip and the wiggle of my thighs.
No one can resist the urge to watch when I am doing my dance,
My style and grace are something that will put you in a trance.
Love him Yes! But I will not change.
I’ve been ME for way to long.
You can either take it or leave it…
(I’m singing my song)
I refuse to be what I am NOT for any human being!
Suddenly the skies clear and the lightening loses its anger.
They cannot keep up this charade any longer.
Whispering through my leaves,
Blowing the Spanish moss that adorns me…
The wind…my angry unseen lover…
Promising me so much more of his magical wonders….
whispers to me…I’m sorry.
Let’s not fight anymore.
