My Bird's Eye View Poem by Justin For

My eyes skim only the surface of a beauty run deep
This world an oasis that I am dying of thirst to perceive
The sun rises only moments before the stars arrive to take over its shift
It is an exchange like no other
The lives of billions rest on the hope they will never abandon this kinship
If the world all at once took in a deep breath
What would be left?
Well I would gift my air to the trees
And the birds that stood patiently beneath
They are more of this world than I
And far more deserving
While the rest of the world turned blue
From holding within the sky and the moon
I would have already released the truth
That it is the tree that remains once we have all passed
Therefore it is the tree I can trust to create beauty that lasts
