Breathing Egosystems
A tree breaths out
into spring budding leaves
and in through deeply engaged roots,
a respiring inspiring system
of organic confluence.
Yet each leaf
also supports dialogue
inhaling carbon
and exhaling oxygen.
This tree,
wiser than me,
does not internally debate supremacy
of diverse incoming powers,
nutrition nurturing opportunities
multiculturing
Which is most important,
producing leaves
or producing oxygen?
Which is most significant,
short term recreation
or long term ecosystemic health?
Producing leaves
producing oxygen
producing water
producing fertile soil,
producing trees...
An ecosystemic relationship
breathes out into budding spring
of organic ego-minded leaves,
equally supported by one trunk body
inclusively imported through interactive root systems
Born of Earth
and light
and water,
Cerebral power
and flowing natural nurture
Sacred wind
penetrating
seas of opportunity,
Root empowering systems
not substituting unrestrained egocentric growth
today
for healthy eco-maturation
tomorrow.
