I felt concerned about the changes happening on a friend of mine. He is not a human being as you may think. He is nature. He is a tree just outside my apartment along the road taking me out to the bus station. It is losing more leaves than it can afford which build a tiny heap for a few days and then disappear in the cold air of autumn as winds drive them in a nearby bush. When I asked what happened, he told me that he was going tom die but not for good. "I shall be resurrected when a breath of love touches me".

I have grown old,
Weak and frail
Head turned grey
Hair slipping away
It is time to go
To exit peacefully

But when I pass away
Please don´t bury me
Shall make a comeback
When the dark dies out
And the light is born
See you June next year
When summer takes over
