The Life of a Tree
July 15, 2010
I start as a seed put into the ground,
my shape is oval, teardrop or round.
The water pours from an unimaginable height,
then i peek my head out to see the light.
I quench my thirst with the water that fell,
my roots start to grow in the shape of a bell.
As i grow taller,
the world seems smaller.
Creatures come to me for shelter,
and start treat me as their elder.
Things that walk with two feet,
climb up me and take a seat.
As i get older and start to rot,
my stump is made into a parking lot.
