Banyan Tree

Grow
Let your body flow
Slow
Time is just a stumbling block
All your leaves are passing skin
Get ready for a new spring
When I'm a drained, dry tree
I don't let the wind dissolve me
I become a little higher
Every time I'm reborn
When I die there's no fire
That could burn my armor
I've been a twig
A seedling
That you'll not break so easily
When I'm small
A little ghost
Underground my roots are grown
You used to tread on my flowers
Now sit under the shade of me
Home
My branches are the safest nest
Voices
Spirits make the wood that I am
My soul has always been here
Is made of all breaths passed near
I was just a little seed
And now a temple
Standing still
I become a little higher
Every time I'm reborn
When I die there's no fire
That could burn my armor
I've been a twig
A seedling
That you'll not break so easily
When I'm small
A little ghost
Underground my roots are grown
You used to tread on my flowers
Now sit under the shade of me
Always anchored in this soil
I plunge my legs into the ground
My head turned to the sky
I need , I live for sunlight
An ancient stream
Reflecting me
The sky is over my feet
I never thought so easily
A shade could turn my reality
I'm just a seed
A little seed
But I'll become a Banyan tree
I'll disappear
I'm nothing
I will survive under your skin
I become a little higher
Every time I'm reborn
When I die there's no fire
That could burn my armor
I've been a twig
A seedling
That you'll not break so easily
When I'm small
A little ghost
Underground my roots are grown
You used to tread on my flowers
Now sit under the shade of me
Grow
Let your body flow
Slow
Time is just a stumbling block
