There's a story untold
But if you're willing,
It will unfold

Once Upon a time
A tree spoke to me:
"here's a tale worth a dime

Of life From a young sapling
To what I am now,
Where all the fruits are hanging

Where the birds sing their songs
Where the animals find shade,
At the center of this nature
is where I truly belong

I give and give
Without asking for anything,
But nobody cares about how I live

How I feel when there's a storm?
Or a huge snowfall
How do I keep myself warm?

When the seasons change
And the leaves wither,
Its all a little strange

I've lived through it all
But knowing human's wrath,
I know I shall fall

I do believe that everyone
On this mother earth
Will face the music as one

On the day of judgment
When the karmic balance sets in,
There shall be no disagreement

You may think that the end is near,
But it could be a new beginning
So there's nothing to fear

Sometimes I do wonder,
If the idea of fate
Is just lightening without thunder

Maybe there will come a revolution,
When in the next life
I turn out to be a human."
Random thoughts while gazing the hills.
