The Tree
Since the beginning of time
A seed has dropped
And from that seed a tree has grown
And that tree gave life to many.
The bird takes refuge in the trees branch.
The squirrel in the trees trunk.
That squirrel can’t fly
And that bird doesn’t walk
So through that tree it unites the heavens & the earth
Through a bond that can only be seen by… the bird
Or… the squirrel?
But when that tree is cut down,
Heaven comes crashing to the ground
And up rises Hell.
The birds branch is broken.
The squirrels trunk, cracked
And Evil is born
The tree fell and with it fell the hearts & soul of the bird & squirrel.
A broken heart & a broken soul.
The mother & father of Evil.
For the bird was the Heaven
And the squirrel was the Earth
And they lived together apart, in unity divided.
In the tree.
In peace.
But the tree is destroyed
And with it went peace
And forced the heavens & the earth together
Through such an unnatural bond
That only Evil could be born.
But a broken heart & a broken soul
Also give birth to a second child…
For with Evil comes…
Hope.
The sky is gray.
The tree is gone.
The rain falls heavy.
But through the rain and mud
A shimmer can be seen
The bird and the squirrel go together toward the shimmer
And there it lies
A broken heart & a broken souls second child
Evils twin…
Hope…
A seed.
