Current Thoughts - I Sometimes Wish I Was A Tree

  
I sometimes wish I was a tree.


Not a huge tree – just a little sapling;

An innocent fixture in this huge world,

Where darkness and beauty coincide.

 

And if I were this tree

I’d feed on nature’s radiance;

Bask in rays of sunshine;

Inhale the pollution of the world

 

Exhale purity.

 

I’d grow to be protector.

My boughs a shade from corruption;

In the shelter of my leaves

Man would unite harmoniously.

 

The world would stand witness

To this miraculous feat:

Bringer of peace;

Maker of forgiveness.

 

I sometimes wish I was this tree

Just this little sapling;

An innocent fixture in this huge world,

Where darkness and beauty coincide.

    1. Thank you for your wonderful comment, Lea!! There are so many positives to trees - I feel guilty that I don't notice them a lot of the time. But, like you say, they give life. Without them we would be nothing. :)
