A Palm Tree in the Fall
If I were further north, I'd experience the seasons of life
My leaves falling out like strands of hair
A middle aged descent toward winter death
But I am down here near the equator
I know no seasons of life, my leaves do not wither and depart
they stays strong and green, eternally young
To be a tree up north what would that be?
While my life is stable and I am the Peter Pan of trees,
I do not rise again as a phoenix in spring
I cannot experience each season of life and death
There is no resurrection for me
Every day and season the same as that which came before
But I do not worry about the coming winter
For I am a palm tree in the fall
My leaves falling out like strands of hair
A middle aged descent toward winter death
But I am down here near the equator
I know no seasons of life, my leaves do not wither and depart
they stays strong and green, eternally young
To be a tree up north what would that be?
While my life is stable and I am the Peter Pan of trees,
I do not rise again as a phoenix in spring
I cannot experience each season of life and death
There is no resurrection for me
Every day and season the same as that which came before
But I do not worry about the coming winter
For I am a palm tree in the fall
