Tree
I wish I were a tree,
In the forest I
Would be.
Not a maple or a
Pine,
A simple shrub
Would be just fine,
Branches
Reaching for the
Sky,
As the heavens
Passed me by.
I would not make a
Single sound,
Each autumn my
Leaves would fall to
The ground,
Passing days would
Catch up to me,
I’d die alone
Without pain, you
See.
I wish I was a tree.
