Growth, transformation, exploration, and reflection
The calmness and beauty of nature’s imperfections
The world is changing all around
And our story starts deep within the ground
From a tiny seed buried in the earth
No one around to determine its worth
The tree begins its journey, stretching its roots
What will it behold, nuts, blossom, fruits?
With every passing moment it reaches higher and higher
It houses many, from squirrels to spiders
It dances in unison with its sisters and brothers
The leaves sway in the breeze, showing off their colours
Trembling in the breeze, the tree witnesses its demise
A saw clutched in the hand of a creature in disguise
Its once proud stature is gone: sawdust and leaves
The woodpecker escapes, the small mouse grieves
The creature lights the fire with the tree’s fragmented life
He hurries to the bedroom to his labouring wife
When nature’s child was murdered at dawn
A whispered tale of another life was born
