Just Tree

Being Zen

This tree

Peeking through my window,

where I sit by my desk…

Have you met her too, somewhere?

She’s gone from a bright green

To a sunny yellow

Look what a few months can do…

She inspires me as I watch,

Fluttering yellow leaves

Hanging by her branches

Against a crisp, blue morning sky.

I try to practice. Seeing.

Seeing her

As “just tree”.

So far, she is still

Yellow tree,

Inspiring tree,

Fluttering tree,

Lovely tree.

This tree,

I wait and watch,

If she will ever become

Just, tree.
