Tree Say’s

Don't leave,

you are not ready yet,

and

I like how you seek

my solid support.

That's it, sit against me,

slow your fretting self,

the answer to your problem

is crowded by your thoughts.

Be patient, as I am -

it's how I grew this strong,

what I lack in immediacy

I make up for

I lay on the grass

to look at the sky

and the sky looks back

while passing me by

and for every cloud

that drifts from sight

another comes

to take its place

another comes

to carry away

the cares that weigh me down.

Past and future concerns.
