Tree's Shade

I seek the tree's shade for its shelter's ease
To flee from the harshness of the sun's light
But the mood for a walk like the disease
Firm bore indecision to be my plight
The walk is my love to have steps about
It yields sublime in the blood to be quick
But to be exposed in this mean light out
Here bears my skin hot like that of one sick

If I stay here in this refreshing zone
Restlessness will nag me for it is to me
A pest devouring my well-being's tone
If I step out from underneath this tree
To be immersed in the day's heated beam
My flesh will end up thinned out like a steam
