i walk in silence beside your green leaves
i hear you sing to your branches
you choose to live every day
take care of your yield
you drink the water beneath
you look death in the eye
rooted too deep
she breathes into the sky
inhaling the smiles of the gatherers
exhaling gifts to the universe
happy to give away
her children
a selfless deed
and i ask myself
does she ever wallow or grieve
does she want to stay alive
does she fights the urge to leave
from where i stand
this tree
seems happier than me
