Let the tree fall
When the tree sinks deep into the swamp,
We don’t need to worry about the winds
Just let screams depart the stream
And watch the river break its banks
When the tree sinks,
The grasses around the river shall be splashed with water from within.
The logs shall rot but the stumps shall grow again,
Letting the green lush and flowers bloom.
When the tree sinks,
The branches will tremble and twigs dance with rhapsody.
When it sinks,
The universe will turn around
And senses may be lost until their eventual return
Hold fast to the axe and let the tree fall
Turn up and around and let it hit the ground.
The hole takes the whole trunk
And the pole makes a prank
Let it sink and seal the leakages
Because when the tree falls,
No more screams will be heard downstream.
