When we’ve had our fill of chlorophyll
Getting ready for those purple days
We’ve earnt our ancestral anthocyanins
Time to pass on our earthly essays
.
Of how we tried?
We tried to try?
Oh, what a life!
Oh, how we tried!
.
When their elders transferred, they lived on in the trunk of the tree
So their deep-rooted wisdom greeted the collective on the daily
Tales not simply tales but secrets of survival branded on bark
What letters will we leave so our buds aren’t abandoned in the dark?
