Redwood tree

You, a redwood tree    
And I, cascading wild vine      
Climbing up luxuriant, your spine      
Raise a coiled snake      
Flayling leaves, dance awake      
Corybantic in the sky      
 
Feeling every embrace      
Sun kissed her empty space      
Gooey melting inside      
Hung on to the creaking branches of arms    
Swaying honey hive swarms        
Deep inside buried life is born      
Roots kissed against her earth   
     
Look to see to      
Come back to      
Come back to life      
Back to you      
Die to become      
Come back to      
Back to life      
     
A river, the road      
A clear yes or no
