The Tree

A single thread
A single feeling
A single desire

It stays locked
Within the folds
Of the hearts
Of men
Waiting
To be opened
And to become
Reality

But for now,
It remains
In a light slumber
Until it can be awakened
By the morning dawn
Of Today

However
There is a possibility
The night stays
And It may
Sleep forever
Until it is forgotten
In yesterday

Unless
The seed
Is planted
Is watered
Is cared for
And it becomes
More

And as it grows
Stretching to its full height
It knows

That even when
The leaves fall
And winter comes
It can live on
To wait
For the day
Of tomorrow
