I wonder
have you ever thought about a tree?
the roots that travel deep into the dirt
holding secrets
the trunk that stands firm
keeping it safe when the wind
tries to blow it down
the branches and leaves that sway
free
unbothered
making it beautiful
making it unique
making it special
have you ever thought about a tree?
the hundreds of years of
pain
peace
persistence
everything it’s overcoming
everything it overcame
you might have thought about a tree
but I wonder
have you ever thought about me?
