Trees Are Nice

Trees are nice….
         Perfectly formed…

Twisting, turning,
Lifting up leafy hands
         To the sky…

If reincarnation were true…
(and I know it isn’t)
          I’d come back as a tree…

Why?
Trees live twice as long as man,
         Don’t you see?

I'm not sure reincarnation isn't true,as sometimes I feel I have lived a previous life. I love trees and I love your poem.
