Lake Wanaka Tree, New Zealand, istock
Stand still
in the face of life,
in the face of time,
recall all your experiences
and wonder no more;
you are where you should be
your roots hold you high
and your branches wonder off
to the distance
of existence.
Stand still
and ignore the petty fish
pecking away at your feet
trying to change you into someone else;
Don’t.
Do not bend unwillingly
do not break or give up
the substance
of your resistance.
Stand still
and allow the flight of birds
to entwine the aura
of your soul;
watch as each leaf floats away
into thoughts
and turns your fights
of persistence
to coexistence.
