Along a dusty road with dried vegetation on each side <br />The tall grey trees with dust covered leaves stare <br />A dreary melancholy stare <br /> <br />Sun scorched barks creek in silence <br />In stillness they stand in the raging windless heat <br />Shading leaves with every movement of the earth <br /> <br />Still they sing beckoning songs to the rain <br />Singing with never ceasing hope <br />Songs of new beginning <br /> <br />Old shade leaves crackle away in deathly silence <br />The leafless trees whistle as the wind blows through the branches <br />As the rain is no where to be seen in the horizon <br />The trees remain still, in a patient hope <br />Waiting in a still peaceful melancholy. <br /> <br />for the following people: <br /> <br />TIRZAH- my best friend <br />RYAN THOMPSON - the wickedest poet his age ever <br />VALENTINE - the most charming man ever<br /><br />Elizabeth Jacqueline Mpanga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peaceful-melancholy/
