Loose yourself in the steadiness of the wind
Do you ever wish you were just a tree?
Swaying in the breeze?
Watching as the world moves on
Watching children grow up and then be gone
You don't really have to try
Just sit and let the seasons go by
Dropping your leaves once in a while
You feel no disgust, no rising bile
Then again you feel no happiness
Your will to live might grow less
No feeling if you are a tree
If a human you can feel and if not you can be free
No one to judge you
Only to climb through
Reading under your shade
And maybe carve a name with a blade
Maybe feelings aren't so bad
Because if you're a tree, you don't know what you've had.

When You Read it, You'll know me
PoetryJust words that flow A river in my head It twists and turns And never stays the same The current is strong You can never go back Pen it down And remember The joy of the ride Through the rough bumpy tide That are the words In my mind.
