The Trees
February 17, 1993
the trees came first, I suppose
though that may not be how it really was
organizing particulate matter in a sequenced life
truth told, none can really tell
all just want to believe in their own version of the way ��
these days no one realizes how unlikely it all was
something starting to move beneath that yellow eye
not much reverence left in the world for magic these days ��
the trees had the most responsibility
breaking down death and starting life again
keeping in order all that should be
changing light to life all that could come from the sun
making in a place where naught had been made before
chemistry, you may call it, or random chance ��
yet the chance is of its own right magic
change where none was to be had before order held
it can be said that chaos is the disunion
that entropy ends all in the game
and it is true that entropy will one day overrun
but order total is ever sterile
let then the trees bind order to chaos
let from nothing be born all life
entropy is the destroyer
this much I know to be true ��
no matter what else in the story is deception
I can call it magic if I will
ignore that all started as a random molecular association
atoms joined by pattern, forcing by organization ��
of gravity, that weakest thing and strong
that which caused sun to become
creator of oxygen and iron from free hydrogen
for chaos, by entropy, thus eliminates itself
and there is life below a lone wet star
let us blame it on the trees
final in a line of those what stand above ground
truly, it is the trees destroyed, unknowing
in the end none shall stand, all contracts
who can say that the final point of infinity will rise again
from the trees then we can know assured, we came
it can indeed be blamed,
if blame is to be given ��
on the trees
eventually there will be an end to all ending
finally everything will coldly stop
it can be claimed that all forms of destruction are thus nothing ��
compared to that one final singularity
as such it can also follow, a story of pointless struggle
how in the interim, life is but a random association of parts ��
so small in the passing as to be of no matter ��
yet it is important to note ��
through progression rise many things of value
life, progression, a chase
even should that final ending loom closer, eons away
what then can be said of destruction
is it true all forms lead to culminated halt
going somewhere could be simply another stop
circling the wheel of everything ��s end
but it seems rational that the interim
the experience itself, is witness
transiently, as those in now
some nature of the system cries out, how wrong to destroy
may be that the trees answered long ago, still answer
progression through promotion of chance
order and chaos for now joined ��
some form of balance equated, temporary
to disrupt the balance with death ��
should be to collapse interim
rocking beginning and end across fulcrum ��
and where destruction seems assuredly wrong
no assurance centers the whole
for do not trees destroy ��
mayhap the trees are right in their ways
supporting, adding to life without detracting
maybe the trees have the only way to go
how the can we destroy when taught by such examples ��
for god and king we have raised arms and made much death
in the name of progression we kill
begging change we ask for all our lives ��
not realizing change, by its very nature, transits
all twisted in this portion of interim
so little right �� where so much could be
in the end all will be annihilated in destruction without light
yet now in light so much is destroyed
so be it ��
unlike the trees we stay intent upon our destruction
though we may pass before too much order is taken apart
commit our wrong and be gone ��
perhaps ��
in the interim after we pass ��
there will still be trees
