tree one

we are trees.
we haven’t figured it out.

all it takes is closing our eyes.
opening our hands.
feeling the wind.

all it takes is standing under the moon.
a thirsty day.
a cold day.

the birds have told us.
autumn.
the earth.

sadness has told us.
peace.
fear.

the sunlight tells us, tirelessly.
and the night.

life tells us.
death
will tell us.
