The Tree

The tree of life is a beautiful thing

for through it and within it we all exist

from it we are

from it we will be

from it we come

from it we exit

but never truly exit

for all souls great and miniscule live on

what comes next I cannot recall

my soul knows

not yet revealed to my mind

everyday

my awareness and consciousness will increase

everyday

I am closer to the truth

closer to life

my sadness runs deeper than any river or roots

for it is a part of me.

My happiness is deeper than any oceans known to man

for it is a part of me

My love for you flows deeper than your comprehension

for you are a part of me

as I am a part of you

we exist as one

simultaneously

I can look into the eyes of an animal

the eyes of a stranger

I see myself in you

I see myself within the forest

in your remorse my own heart aches

in my happiness you are joyful

imagine a person called humanity

we are all the millions of cells that he is composed of

we must work together to keep each other alive

we should strive for love

do not mourn about the past

do not be anxious of the future

for you are here

the time is now

embrace the moment

what is meant to be will happen

regardless of your lust for control over your life

God is in control

you are a tiny part of the universe

yet so vast

my eyes are mirrors

so when you look into my eyes

I hope you see a glimpse of the universe

for there you will find yourself

everything you see is reflective of yourself

as you mirror everything that surrounds you
