the wisdom of deep roots

 

there is a tree outside
my office window

I watch it marking the
seasons

it's birth in the spring

its life in the summer

it dying in the fall

its afterlife in the winter

that old tree...

it has survived
storms, wind
and snow

that old tree...

we have an understanding
him and I

I notice his strength, age
and beauty

and quietly admire it's
near eternity

and in the perpetuity that
comes and
go

I hear it's leaves rustling
in a faint breeze

whispering wordless
words more profound
than any uttered
by any
man

wisdom knows
no
boundaries
