I am a tree
My roots go deep in the ground
And I can just be
Just being and just doing all that a tree does
I don’t mind that my roots are fixed in the earth
For my branches are free to float in the breeze
I sweep over hillsides dark brown and purple
Life drips from my leaves
And longing for life thrills through my branches
As I am the sky
And the birds
And the tree
Trees merge, trees do night fight trees
I am a tree, and a tree I’ll continue to be
When there’s no one about but me
I’m not a politician
I’m not a zookeeper
I’m not a general
I’m not a bishop
I simply am a tree
And if you think that’s simple
Simply being what you are
Look at yourself
Are you simply what you are
Or what you are prеtending to be?
You can cut my bark
I’ll not fight back
You can chop me down
My trunk will weep tеars of gum
And my tall length will lie like a chaise
But I say nothing
Just letting my being, or not being, speak
I make no decisions
While I have life, I grow as I can
Then I die
What am I? Simply a tree
Just letting my being, or not being, be
