We are the trees We are the trees You and I grinning in the sunshine roaring at the night. We are the trees We are the trees You and I clinging to the riverbank falling slowly into rank. We are the trees We are the trees You and I Growing and going nowhere. |

ah as the blind man said, upon receiving sight, "I see men as trees walking" ::smiles:: Now, like Adam, I must go hide among them. Thank you for stimulating my dendrite |

Love, love, love this! Beauty in vanity, what a concept, one I always enjoy exploring in my thoughts. It's like a flower in a field that lives and dies unnoticed, unseen. What was the point? My hope is that there is a point, and that somehow that flower achieved immortality in vanity, giving hope for unseen pain and lonely struggle. ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· |

I love your poem and all it conjures up for me. If I were a tree of my own choice, I think I would choose to be either an Acacia xanthophloea (fever tree is its most usual common name) or an Erythrina lysistemon (a coral tree). I also have often embraced the dilemma that Garapan raised. I find it sad, and so wish that every little flower could be noticed and celebrated by people (being a "people", myself). However, I believe that each little flower is there for a purpose and although the human race may not be involved, that each little flower's life is fulfilling and fulfilled. - Owl |
