A Grove of Trees

A Grove of Trees
Beseeches Me
"Why Are You Here
And What do You Seek?"

"The Truth", I Say
Confidently Enough
Trusting Their Wisdom
Insistent And Needful

But What Do They Do?
They Laugh At Me
Saying I Was A Joke
And So I Should Leave

"But Wait", I said
"Why So Fast?"
"Surely You've Learned Something
Something From The Past"

"Time Does Not Stand Still
It Doesn't Even Exist
And The Ground Under Your Feet
It Too Is A Myth"

"Oh Grove Of Trees
I'm Down On My Knees
This Is What You've Taught Me
Beneath Your Turning Leaves"

"Life Is But A Dream
So Live And Forget
See What You Hear
And Hear What You See"

"Be Happy And Loving
Even Though Unsure
Of One's Own Continuance
Just Live And Let Be"
