Mein Freund der Baum

Mein greiser Baum

sein Atem ist schwach

dies trifft ihn nun

mit aller Macht.

                                                        -Er trotze dem Wind

                                            -auch der Sturmgewalt

                                            -er war doch gefeit

                                            -sein Stamm gab ihm Halt.

                                                                                                                                -Die Blätter lässt er

                                                                                                    -herunter fallen        

                                                                                                    -nicht ein Zweig kann

                                                                                                    -sie an sich halten.

                                                                                                                                                                                                         -Die Wurzeln sind schwach

                                                                                                                                                              -der Boden zu locker

                                                                                                                                                             - sein Haupt ist schwer

                                                                                                                                                              -er kann nicht mehr.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                -Er hat geglaubt

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                -er steht noch Jahr um Jahr

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                -doch nun ist's soweit

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                -vorbei ist seine Lebenszeit.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          © Sternwanderer                                                                                        -
