Do you feel their breath?
On the nape of your neck
As you walk through the golden leaves
Do you see their footprints in the dirt?
Where you feel to your knees
And they held you close whispering.

Do your remember when I walked with you
Along those lush green walls protecting the spirits within
Through those days of summer we walked
And now autumn has come to us
I have gone my way
And you still stay close to our well travelled path

There are ghosts in those trees
Do you hear their voices?
They tell you their stories of how they came to be
And how they watched you and me
And how they cried for us
Weeping willows, for our shortness and joy

Their saw in to our future
While you and I wasted our days
They screamed silently for us to live
And we forever walked
Blissfully free of the knowledge
Of what lay ahead of us

And now you cry with them
And they hold you in their arms
All I can do is watch and wait
Wait for the new wandering lovers
And their dreams to die
Waiting again for you to be mine
this is based on a picture that i took in Glastonbury abby of a beautful grassy path which was lined either side with trees.
This is going for the idea that when we die, we grow again in trees....technically true if your buried under a tree and as you decompose etc.
But also your spirit, well you have heard of Niads
