Laburnum Tree

1–2 minutes

Walking through the canopy

Making my way through the dark

A ray of light striking though

Silence around

The dark before dawn

The silence before they wake

The one moment in the world

When it’s only you

You look around

And you wonder

What goes behind those leaves

What secrets does the world hide

A sharp noise welcomes you back

It is the greeting of the morning

You step out into the spotlight

You realize you’re not the only one

The world has now woken up
