Atree and me share empathy

rhyming quatrains

Empathy.A tree and me.

 

A tree communicates with me.

I don’t know how his came to be

I awoke one morning to find

 a friendly presence in my mind.

 

I was afraid I was insane.

The tree was able to explain.

The reason it had chosen me.

Depended on proximity.

 

Although at first I found it strange.

The tree could easily arrange

My troubled thoughts to calm my fears.

So that its presence now appears.

 

To be quite natural to me.

I can accept quite easily.

The messages that receive

 have changed the way that I perceive.

 

The world;fundamentally.
the tree’s prepared to share with me.

The wisdom which it has amassed

As centuries have slowly passed.

 

We are in contact constantly.

Its friendly presence comforts me.

I carefully conceal the fact.

The tree and I can interact.

 

Should I confess it openly.

I have no doubt that Ibe

 would be accused of eccentricity.

If not outright insanity..

 

Because it is a well known fact

 that trees and men don’t interact

.A view the world holds to be true

It’s probable that you do too.

 

Though I am forced to disagree

Communicating with a tree..
has taught me things I did not know.

Though I can’t prove that it is so.

 

The final choice I leave with you.

You can believe my tale is true.

Or decide I’m telling lies

Whichever you consider wise.

 

It makes no difference to me

and even less to the old tree.

We have established a rapport

 we can exchange our views in thought.
