"The Child & The Tree"
I saw a vision
a child at the base of the last tree
clinging to the roots of that gargantuan giant
as the sky remained clear
and no fruit was bared
the child closed their eyes and called to the tree
The tree was still in the hot winds
As the child sat at its base for many days
Until he perished at its base
and so sprouted the first seed
and the dust was quenched from beneath
and mankind grew again from the soil
Anew
and one again
