Sticks

Weaving around

Through the air

Just like our lives

Constantly changing course

Leaves

Showing their health

In many shades of colors

But still

Helpless

To the power of the frigid wind

Just like ourselves

Better in the warmth of the sun

Birds roosting in the maze of moss covered branches

Nests made of layers of sticks and hay

Providing a promising shelter

Just like our houses

To protect ourselves

The roots down under

The life source of it all

Providing all the proper nutrients

To survive

Just like our food

To strengthen ourselves

Back to our best self

The towering tree

That seems to be lifeless sometimes

Is still a whole world inside

Hosting an entire variety of life

Just like ours

Still

Remember

That the tree is a world

Just like ours
