What you can see
At the top of the tree..
Is just a glimpse
Of what it can be.
The roots are as deep,
In earth's darkened sleep,
As what is atop, at sighting's first peep.
So don't be a foolin'
With nature's good rulin'.
There's much you can't see,
When you study a tree.
Much like a soul,
Dressed in disguise,
It's good not to guess,
No judgment is wise.
Let your vision go deeper,
In the long run it's cheaper,
To see the heart tucked under the skin,
A look in the eyes, to know where they've been.
It saves you a trip to nowhere and back,
What's on the surface is not the main track.
Next time you wonder,
What's up with that tree,
Remember the roots,
You're not able to see.
