Tree of knowledge

Tree of knowledge.
Why do the rivers flow?
Why do I sway?
Why do the rocks stay still?
Why does the sound of nature sound so magical?
Like a foot in a shoe with no growing room
I am trapped until humans give me a new pair.
I fight to live against all odds and get chopped down but sacrifice for my kind so it can get back up again.
Leaves like stained glass windows with the sun seeping through and creating magic.
As my leaves come and go, that's life, but losing myself is hard for you and for me.
Forest is family,
our roots hugging together.
Our life is a sanctuary, other life wanders through with amazement.
Eventually you will regret a wonderful life-source gone and drifted away,
as my leaves blow away, so do you;
our extinction is your extinction.
