To be a Tree
I wonder,
What would it be like to be a tree?
Alive yet immobile
Are trees sad like the look of the willow?
Or, do trees even have emotions at all?
Could I sit and enjoy the wind rustle my branches?
Could I feel pain as a woodpecker nests in my trunk?
Would I sleep,
Or, just have a constant awareness of the world?
Life as a tree would be different.
In the fall, I shed my "clothes", and willingly freeze through the winter.
Could I communicate?
Or would I be alone among my brethren?
