Life As a Tree
LIFE AS A TREE
A tree stays rooted in the same place,
its shadow forestalls the passing of time
It takes what's needed from the earth
and explores existence as a tree.
What secrets fed the roots from teddered soil
A naked force, we cannot see, a mystery unknown
that trees and human beings are seldom shown.
Only that we grow in timely stages and
And whether it is just a tree or me,
it will always seem to be
a question never fully answered.
C.A.K.
