In the realm of forests, a story unfolds
Of Ancient beings, with stories untold
The life of trees, so vibrant and grand
Yet humans fail to understand
For in their branches, wisdom resides
A testament to resilience, where time abides
Roots delve deep, seeking nourishment below
An intricate dance, that humans often forego
With each passing season, they gracefully transform
Bearing witness to nature’s ever-changing norm
Leaves unfurl, embracing the sun’s warm rays
As they sway in harmony, a tranquil ballet
But humans, in their haste, often fail to see
The beauty that surrounds them, the marvels of a tree
They chop and clear, without a second glance
Unmindful of the consequences, of nature’s delicate balance
Oh, if only we could grasp the wisdom they hold
The interconnectedness, the stories yet untold
For in the shade they offer, a respite we find
A sanctuary of peace, a solace for the mind
Yet, greed and ignorance, they often prevail
As humans encroach, with plans to assail
Forests diminish, their ecosystems disrupted
A tragic tale, where nature’s beauty is ruptured
Let us pause and reflect, on the life of a tree
Its silent wisdom, its gift of harmony
For in their existence, a lesson lies
To respect and cherish, before nature dies
May we learn to coexist, to tread with care
Preserving the beauty, the delicate layers we share
For in the life of trees, a message resounds
To honor and protect, nature’s wonders profound
Often, we overlook the significance of trees, yet they are living entities just like us. Capable of surviving for centuries, they witness our history unfold - enduring countless human conflicts and societal shifts. Despite it all, they remain, embodying grace and resilience, until they fall victim to our saws. Intriguingly, the patterns on our fingertips mirror the rings of a tree's stump. If only life were as straightforward. Born into this world akin to trees, it seems they are entitled to their essential needs more so than we are. Perhaps our understanding is misplaced.
