Ode to the Tree
January 21, 2023
As the tree spiraled upward
Twisted
Bended
Unfolded
Pushed against the collapsing force of gravity
It stood up straight
Pushing against the linemen of the world
Drinking the sun
Bathing in it, shielding in it, healing it.
Following the rules
The this and that
The their and where
All this under the pressure to grow and create new life
