I want to be a tree

not the Tim Pope song but an actual tree.

I’d preferably like to not be able to see.

Why? Because I want to be still

To not be transported and not feel like I have to constantly transport me.

Similar to the melody I’d like to sway and passively watch the day pass away.

To be rooted and understand what it means to be dead, alive, old, young, a sprout, a seed.

A threat to the humans who live under me but a life supply to the ones who bow down.

To be seen only by chance in a forest that’s never burned down but the most beautiful thing to ever be.
