Lessons From A Tree

today under the shade
of a mighty tree
smiling I found
only small branches
hold the leaves

"I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad."
— Joni Mitchell

And, what did you think of that?
What life conclusions do you deduct?

My take on your thoughts: It is all the small pieces that make the best part of the package.

Nice.

This has tremendous strength for such a short poem. The nucleus for myriads of expanding thoughts.
