I'm Like You Tree

Unlike you, tree, I grow and die

And like you, my wealthy branches sag in rain

And also like you, wind blows me dry

Still coursing through with wet remains

We glow in a gleam

We thrive in light

Look closely

Look at me closely

I look just like you, tree

We both burst blindly from the ground

Hardened pilgrims from a molten core

And we both sing our love for a womanly cloud

Our many limbs reaching for more
