TREE
I want to be like a tree.
It just doesn't move.
Everything moves around it but I just stays there,
strong,
motionless,
confident,
sturdy,
stable. A fixture.
Grounded to the earth.
Gives life yet is gentle.
Everything moves around it.
The wind blows away the grass
the leaves
the branches.
The animals dwell within & on it.
The tree does not budge.
Nothing is stable around it.
Everything is fleeting.
But the tree is loyal to the ground.
The earth.
the tree can be trusted to provide shelter
and strength.
The tree is wise.
The leaves fall and die every year but the tree lives on.
It knows what's really important.
It knows.
It's faithful
It's dependable.
It's foundational.
It's rock solid.
OK, it's not rock solid but I like that it's not cold
and rough
and jaded.
It provides shade.
It's a cool guy :)
It loves you because you love it.
