alone I stand

This amazing photo by Steven Sandner has inspired my poem



Alone I stand
Watching
Pondering
Wondering why you rush
Never stand long enough
To see the beauty
Of the world
The galaxy

Listen to me
Yes me
The tree
Can you see what I see?
The wonder
The beauty
The majesty
Creation in all its complex glory
Balanced carefully
Until recently

Please listen to my word
Heed what you heard
I've seen the world change
Rapidly
Disastrously
Yet at my roots
The same
I remain
Connected
To all of nature
Come connect with me
Sit underneath
Me
Or any tree
And be
Just be
Part of the galaxy
