the tree
growing with strength, confidence, and assurance;
the tree once started as a seed.
growing and blooming,
it's flaws never known and never seen.
only set on the peak,
the reach beyond the mountains,
above the trees.
keep going and going and going.
It's height never being high enough.
the desire to continue the sprouting and unfolding,
until it perches itself above all the trees in the valley,
higher than the mountains.
sights set, the journey was on,
it sight must reach to the beyond.
far, far, far away.
the time did come,
where the tree lingered
high above.
and when it was there,
it felt hollow.
empty.
hmmmm,
why is this so?
The tree did enjoy the view,
and deep down,
the fact that it knew,
higher than all it was.
but that knowing
was not enough to change
the uncomfortable feeling of
existenial pain.
something the tree never thought it would do,
was look down.
down down down.
not up up up above,
to the beyond.
the tree looked down down down down.
to a human,
like looking back.
and that was it.
The journey was over. no where else to go.
"Is this it?" Tree muttered and a tear fell.
"I've reached my peak, here here here I am"
Tree expressed with a sense of joy.
The view was beautiful. It truly was.
But the Tree couldn't shake a feeling.
This was the journey, this was it all.
The ending it was,
and the ending was all tree had even seen.
To know the tress next journey,
was its fall.
"Now that I'm here,
it is i must say.
quite a shame a live out on hope of anticipation."
Well, on Earth it is, the Sun replied.
The sun gently warmed the trees face.
It felt warmer up here.
The key and the secret is to enjoy where you are...now right here and right now.
Yes, you may have been taken out of the moment and bathed in a perceived desire, an idea of how something is to "be", but now you understand.
now you have decided to enjoy the moment presented.
Feel that now.
The tree quivered a bit, taken by the powerful message of the sun.
knowing that the moment now,
it is the one.
The one the tree is meant to be.
The one that must be seen.
Relaxed and at bay,
whatever happens.
will be okay.
Let it come what may.
The sun dipped behind the mountains,
and the tree was thankful now,
because where tree was
it could feel live
and mutter out
WOW..
