WE ARE TREES


We Are Trees
Jonah

Underground in touch
Reaching up
Always seeking

We share needs
Warnings too
Standing together

If one falls
The others 
Take their friend up

We dress 
Always in style
With one another

Keeping the same 
Company and struggles
Enduring alike

Tall or small
Young or old
We are all

Trees



This poem was inspired by thoughts regarding String Theory (physics). I wrote another poem about trees 5 years ago that was inspired by friends moving to Florida. I was wondering whether to stay here and somehow that turned into a poem called "Like An Old Tree."
