I guess I will never know

I touched a tree which had roots
I felt the wood which had no roots
I searched for their heart beat and felt the same rhythm
Consuming me with an excruciating wonder
I wandered into this wonder and thought
When does a tree becomes a wood?
We the human make a tree into the woods
Or there is a time when they turn from tree to woods
I guess I will never know
Is a gardener and a slaughter one and a same?
Slaughter cuts to make a desirable meal
Gardeners trims to sustain a desirable view
Both working to construct the desires...
Are they 2 sides of the same coin
Or the broken pieces of the same mirror
I guess I will never know
