Approximately 9:00 to 9:30 P.M.
The Story of the Trees
(Trees captured near the perimeter of the St. Mary's Basilica, on Saturday May 3, approximately 9:30 p.m. The trees are only lit by the Canon Powershot G9's flash)
For the Love of Trees
Twist this way, twist that way
Intertwined loveliness
The branches reach out
Calling me to come hither
In the darkness of night
Capturing the minute light
The evening draws late
As the city begins to sleep
Listening intently and quietly
I am the eager student of life
The trees are speaking to me
All at once, in unison
Each has a different perspective
It is overwhelming, their murmurs
To listen to their voices together
Of both happiness and sorrow
They cry out, a few in agony
Begging me to share their stories
For the love of trees
Please honor and hear us speak
Listen to our prayers and whispers
Open your eyes to truly SEE
What man is doing to us, trees
Think before you do, do as you speak
All trees are LIFE, many lives
Giving us the ability to survive
Breathe in their gift to mankind
Cherish them close to your heart
Repeat the telling of these stories
To ANY man, woman or child
Willing to listen or not
Make them STOP, THINK and HEAR!
For the love of trees.

Trees
I don't wanna go through this life
Without you by my side
And I got it all worked out
In my head here's how it's got to be
It'll be you and me
Up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answer
It'll be you and I
Up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster
We, we make believe
In a world we rule together
We can build our dreams
With a knot tied tight to last forever
It'll be you and me
Up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answer
It'll be you and I
Up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
We got one shot
So let's use our imaginations
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
You're all that I got
So where do we go from here
It'll be you and me
Up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answer
It'll be you and I
Up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster
I know there's more for us in this life
If we hold on, if we hold strong
I know there's more for us in this life
Can we hold on, can we hold on
*****
For the love of trees,
Take care of and cherish our trees
