A Tree for all Eternity**

Perched on a hill

Humble with nature's best

Provider

Observed

Tranquilizer 

Keeps me sane.

No human element can toch thee.

Stationary, revolved around all seasons.

Unaware of human dysfunctionality

Unaffected by pop culture,

Underapprecaited by those that whiz pass by

Most likely distracted to the world's calling.

You are the refuge

The haven

The sanctuary 

A pang of jealousy hits me in regards

to the idea of being inanimate 

for the rest of my days,

yet filled with the life of 7 billion around me.

 

**Dedicated to the lost lives of 2012 Sandy Hook shooting
