I and the Tree

I and the Tree

A Poem by I Am Svetlana

If you plant me a tree, I'll show you all of this will be over.

I would hurt no more.

The leave would represent a new start, a new beginning.

I would be reborn. My life would start over.

The disease would be gone, I would be healthy.

A new life.

A new start is what I need.

 

Dig up the soil and

Plant the seed beneath my feet.

Wait for the rainfall and

Watch it grow.

My life is starting over.

 

As the tree grows taller

It adds a new branch.

New green leaves.

The life is new, pure and evergreen.

 

I can't say much else at this moment.

Only that the tree is me

And I am the tree.

To live as one

Is to live in union.

To be a part of one another.
