Maria Daines ~ Tree of Life

An ode to the Sycamore Gap and all the magical trees cut down each day around the world. ’Tree of Life’ I see you on the long road home Against the clouds to hide your wounds The light fades in the winter skies Lost in quiet dreams tonight Ooh let the roses climb Between the thorns to rise above And you will find your way, my dear It’s out there looking for your love Let go the cruel grip of ice The mountain wind has heard your voice A broken heart beats strong within Call your tribe, your next of kin Old branches, like sweet withered hands In grace, unbowed, she makes her stand The tree of life, with roots unseen We follow her to the evergreen Let the sad days fall behind Around your feet for the moths to find Like golden leaves you once held close Honour those you love the most There’s fairies in the woods you know Your Grandma told you long ago And she knows how we’ll ride this storm Y
