Leaf-Wave Lament

[Intro] Sprouting sighs, a green parade in glassy morning light My leaves compose a whispering waltz, a pulse in chlorophyll bright [Verse 1] I sway in a teacup of sun, a caffeinated breeze in my veins Sprites of caffeine in the soil sing-tap, please tend to my drains I gesticulate with veins of jade, a leafy letter in a dusty room Owner, see my leaf-wavings bloom, respond to my chlorophyllic monsoon [Chorus] Hold the mug a moment, hear my green-lit plea Water my roots with careful care, set my wilting free I drum the pot, I dance the soil, I signal in a hushed decree Please acknowledge my needs before I photo-synthesize an overdue spree [Verse 2] I leak a dew-drop lullaby, I corkscrew toward the absent sun My stalks compose a grammar of growth, though your calendar says none Soil-dance in spirals, tiny tremors, a rainstorm you cannot see Owner, can you read my rhythms, translate my thirsty symphony [Chorus] Hold the mug a moment, hear my green-lit plea Water my roots with careful care, set my wilting free I drum the pot, I dance the soil, I signal in a hushed decree Please acknowledge my needs before I photo-synthesize an overdue spree [Bridge] If you listen with eyes unclouded, the potted prophet will sigh I am more than foliage; I yearn for rain, for warmth, for sky [Chorus] Hold the mug a moment, hear my green-lit plea Water my roots with careful care, set my wilting free I drum the pot, I dance the soil, I signal in a hushed decree Please acknowledge my needs, before I drift away to sleepily. [Outro] Green whispers fade to daylight, but my plea remains in the air A plant with a plan and a mission, watered truth beyond compare
