Breathe

(trees) do not
ask why are we here
stand bend-not-
break stoic
(bud, leaf, fruit-flower falling)
year by year by year

A tree-themed shadorma for Jane’s weekly challenge.

I always felt trees are more evolved than us, your poem says that too. Love it.

  It seems it would be wonderful to be so above it all, tree-like.
