The branches rest peacefully occasionally rocking at the visitation of a gentle breeze.
They it make it seems as though they’ll always be
It calmness perpetuating this fallacy
It acts as though it doesn’t know what’s coming next
Maybe because it doesn’t
It’s a paradigm of continuity
Standing in the same place it did yesterday and ten years before that.
Same place for a long time?
Not stagnation if you look in the wrong direction
Don’t look around
Look up
It’s a paradigm of continuity
Taller than it was two months ago and two decades before that
growing it did
Until it was “grown” (your always growing)
Taking on a new purpose as it did,
It now shades the people it sat under as a seed
This is a tree
This is change
The branches rest peacefully occasionally rocking at the visitation of a gentle breeze.
They act as they’ve been
Endurant
Its calmness perpetuating this characteristic
It acts
But to reflect that it’s a paradigm of promotion
From nothing to something
