what remains after the rot

a rotten tree sprouts green 
looking far more alive than it ever was
filled with life it shielded itself from before
seeming it's most beautiful 
being slowly eaten alive 

the rot becomes known
and now,
feeling most useless, it is most useful 
to all, to all 

piece by piece 
it's torn apart 
into a home 
by all, for all

why don't they see
this too is temporary
traded for with permanence 
is forever always stopped by someone else?
does anybody remember the seed?
