tree reaching up

tree 
reaching up 
to gray today 
blue tomorrow 
branches sparse 
between 
bare trunk 
you 
tell me 
we are 
one 
too 
can stand 
tall 
you 
befriend me 
oh scraggly 
tree 
dewdrop 
on blade 
of grass 
a tiny 
prism 
beauty 
to behold 
one 
among many 
a comfort 
that 
now here 
then gone 
new 
form 
to reappear 
oh dewdrop 
on blade 
of grass
