Even when it won't stop

EVEN WHEN IT WON’T STOP (E A D G B E)

A tree told me: no shortcuts. As I sat in its shade.

The morning breeze was soft but steady.

Gently blowing the leaves. Tickling the back of my neck.

 

A tree told me not to fear. As its branches stretched towards the sky.

As a magpie built a nest and I thought: how perfect a place! Like it couldn’t be anywhere else.

 

A tree told me: the world will wait for you, even when it won’t stop.

As its shade dissolved into the night.
