Haunted Sycamore Tree

I made friends with a haunted sycamore tree We talked about birds and nests and the changing of leaves She said don't worry about my ghosts they're apart of me She took a piece of her bark and said here make some tea Transcendent fire, I boiled the water She told me bout the seasonal wars with beavers and otters I said damn, she laughed and pardoned the pun I sipped the tеa gently, it healed my lungs Thе steam of the tea wrote in calligraphy The cursive was fleeting but there was a message for me I can't describe it with words if i tried it'd be a book Maybe staring at a sunset while eternity looks? She said trees don't die, their light goes dim And even when they're just a stump we send nutrients to them She said my branches are antennas they're much more than limbs She said we're all part of earth we're much more than friends She didn't use words more like telepathic hymns Vibrational emotions like the voice of violins Ancient mariner through these rimes I swim Patient with the derringer the reaper grins I won't catch a fade the cross hairs won't win Catcher in the Rye but I harvest within Crop circles in the sky in a Fibonacci spiral The sun goes down the moon blooms on arrival I asked if trees were like hotels for birds? She said you think give and take in possession and worth She said hotels are property and they cost a fee What's a market but a thief? what's lack but grief? What's death but commodity? money's from a chopped tree Before a bank robbery, the forest had a robbery I once saw a mansion, all I saw was poverty The greatest crime is when they stole curiosity She said human means clay you're the planet's pottery The earth spins and we grow her clouds come and water me She said we were one I didn't charge you for tea I learn from you and you learn from me Each one, teach one, that's reciprocity Each one, teach one, that's reciprocity Each one, teach one, that's reciprocity Each one, teach one, that's reciprocity Paulo's Path
