A winter’s tree
is just like me
forgetting what
it used to be
A springtime tree
is just like me
renewing what
it hopes to be

is just like me
expressing what
it wants to be
An autumn tree
is just like me
reflecting what
it was to be
A winter’s tree
is just like me
forgetting what
it used to be
Becoming More Self-Aware
