I Am Certain of It

Carry this little

tree in your backpack. 

Walk in the 

woods and find the 

perfect spot. 

Dig a hole

just enough

for you 

and let the tree

rest. 

Climb down 

in the hole 

and gently

lay your 

body in 

the cool

dirt. 

Listen to

the trees as 

they sing 

to you in 

the wind. 

You should

be careful 

you might fall

in the deepest sleep.

Better to dig

a smaller hole

and plant your little 

tree in the ground. 

Before you cover 

it in the earth

take that note

you have held

to your heart and

put it in the hole

with the tree. 

Ask the trees

around you to 

look after your 

words and 

the little tree. 

They will

reply in 

the wind with

their leaves 

clapping lightly.

Let your footsteps

let the 

string loosen. 

Once you

leave,

the world

will forgret you.

But not the trees

they will hold

you forever.

I am certain 

of it.
