A tree woke up

January 3, 2010

A tree woke up and watered me
touching my thoughts with greenery

the sun grew bright and showered me
with lots of light and lovingly

the earth stood strong and rooted me
gave me depth and profundity

a river flowed strong and guided me
taught me focus and energy

the sky grew open and blessed me
granting glimpses of eternity

the sea was deep but kind to me
immersing in life and its ecstasy

the harmony around embraced me
whispering to me my destiny

I mocked the sky and polluted the sea
the earth grew silent and rejected me

seems light-hearted till you reach the end where the wisdom which is incessant in all these poems comes through . One of my poems which i have not shown to anyone yet has a few similar ideas, but this is far, far better.
