Stationary
& Silent
Observing
& marveling
Feeling
breeze & rain
Warmth
of sun & coolness of moon
Receiving
my food
And
what it takes to LIVE
Right
here
Enjoying
all that nature has to offer,
That
is why I am here
That
is how I live &
That
is how I pass away
Fruits,
seeds, leaves & shadows
Are
results of my being,
Not
my anxiety
if
they are useful
I
am just a tree
I wonder about this man
Always
on run!
Food,
house, Relationships, Status…
So
much to “maintain”
Run,
run & run…..
Trying to earn his living
When
will he realize it is a gift?
When
will he evolve to know
There
is no need to possess to enjoy?
When
will he learn to be still?
When
will it occur
What
he runs for will find him
Once
he is still?
When
will he learn to be just a man?
I
am just a tree

I love the wisdom in this poem. These lines are my favorite "What he runs for will find him, Once he is still?" Thank you for inspiring us at O.S.I. this week.
Like a tree isn't all bad, is it?
Thank you for this nice prompt, Harshad. I had a fun write with it.
