The Tree

There was a tree
Which did not know
When it was a seed
What lay within

When it grew
It thought it was a sprout
But it never stopped growing
Not even when it thought itself a bush

Bigger it grew
To became a tree
But the tree was confused
Would it bear fruits?
Would it provide shade?

Or so the tree thought
And it bore fruits
And it provided shade
And lived to see a thousand suns

And so our lives lay
Before us
We know not what lays within
We know not what the future has in store

Let it be
