I’ve Learned; Tree of Life
The tree of life
grows inside me
forever baring the souls,
the spirits
of a thousand lives
I have lived before,
except I hold them all
at this time.
Roots dig deep,
keep us secure.
Evermore they grow
striving for the top,
clear up to the heavens
where I praise you
as I swing upon you,
On the swing set
in the forest.
Always there
to keep me awake
keep me sane
with the bark that ages
but the wisdom remains
I will never forget
all that I learned
from the trees
the trees that feed us oxygen.
Like a metaphor that you hold
where you dwell
for me to find
for me to tell your story.
