at the centre of it all is you
a tall tree rooted deep,
and the family that has been granted upon you
be it through birth, marriage or chance
blessings we sometimes forget to thank the universe for
for so many souls wonder the world
without roots, branches and leaves
with no chirping of birds and
playing of monkeys surrounding it
just a piece of wood waiting to be
thrown in the endless fire that is the otherside/death
