Whats a tree?
Well, its not a horse.
Its not a lake or a waterfall.
Its not a volcano.
A tree isnt an eagle or a star.
Its not a pyramid or church steeple.
Not a soft breeze.
Its no dream, regret or plea.
Its not a silver mirror.
Its not a circus clown.
A tree isnt your parents voice or childs cry.
It isnt hope or despair.
It isnt you, of course.
A tree is not a cozy hearth,
Nor a poem;
Neither page nor words.
A tree is surely no abyss;
Youll find no all-consuming black hole there.
No, a tree is not that.
Now the rest, you can figure out.

The extra commentary made me read it. The words made me care.
Twisted just enough as you fall down the lines to keep you in there for the finale, which I loved. |
