A Poem By a Wildflower

If water could talk, I wonder if it would say yuck.
I wonder if the water that is in our tears would feel wasted.
If trees could talk, I'm sure they would put humans in their place.
If trees could talk, it would be an absolute waste 
for man would cut them down without haste. 
Man fears what it doesnt understand and it seeks to conquer all land. 
If water could talk, I'd never want it to stop.
If trees could speak, they would have all the wisdom we seek.
For those who wish to grow, let the water flow.
Let your hearts run wild through the trees and always be listening. 
Amidst all the chaos and all the change, all the wildness and all the rage; 
Focus on the trees.
Focus on the water.
Focus on these.
