Poetry: Trees

From deep within the hallowed earth, life takes it's first small breath.

Life strives to grow, and change and show the world what it can do.

Reaching up towards the sky, life emerges from solid ground.

It opens up for all to see, a new life has broken through.

It takes it's time, not rushing life, just slowly growing strong.

The life the sun gives to it, helps it grow tall and straight.

But it's at this moment that this life, sees something completely new,

That the sun above isn't the only life, but rather under a new twist of fate.

As life was only up and tall, now it sees that another path there may be.

A path that would see it surrounded in life, within it, below and above.

The tree now sees that the purpose of life isn't to focus on the goal,

But rather embrace the journey through life, and fill it full of love.

    On its branches blowing free
