Three trees?
Yes, three trees
The first, obvious
Standing upon the earth
Erect, strong, reaching
Providing shelter
Forever changing
The second, elusive
Etched upon the ground
Magical, intricate, delicate
Providing intrigue
Forever illusionary
The third, critical
Digging deep into the terra
Quiet, obscure yet resilient
Providing sustenance
Forever constant
Likewise, we too
Have three forms
This body
Owned and operated
The self image
Imagined and sought
This inner spirit
Forgotten or unknown
We are preoccupied
With one and two, are we not?
But perhaps switching the focus
To delve beneath the surface
Find those stabilizing forces
We too, can stand tall
Beautiful and worthy
Of this ecosystem
Here upon the Earth
