| Have you ever seen a forest with only one tree?
one tree standing alone
no forests have hundreds of trees?
....all alike
like clones of one another
but then theres that one tree
a tree that stands out
a tree different from the rest
it may not be perfect
it may not be tall
but it stands alone
and it is the most beautiful tree
beautiful in all of its imperfections
alone in the forest of clones
in a world of all things the same
it is different
the kind of thing that makes you stop and stare
to gaze at its beauty
its mysteriousness<
its ability to be unalike the rest
to branch out
to be free
to arise from the conformities of the world
and in that the tree may not be as tall
or as perfect as the others
but it rises above
i wish i was like that tree...
