Until At Last Poem by Heather Burns

Until At Last



Planted

deeply rooted in the soil
a sappling
young and tender resting
near a bubbling stream

drinking

in its pleasure
as each day presents itself
until at last a mature tree.

This is a remarkable poem celebrating the sheer wonder of LIFE as embodied in a tree's existence. There's no struggle, no suffering, no striving to find the meaning or purpose. Just that bare fact of being alive in time. growing with time, achieving - what? I would say your tree achieves fullness of being, and that should be fulfillment enough even for us restless humans who cannot be content in our rooms the way the tree is in the place of its rooting.
