Check out this poem. It really moved me a lot and I read it many times. Very profound.
For his 5th birthday he was given
A baby cherry tree.
His very own to plant
Where he can be free to rant
This little tree was so delicate and
Would need a good deal of love and
Attention in order for it to one day grow.
It was all up to him to ensure the little tree
to be big and strong
To inspire natures song
And that little tree worked very hard
To be the best tree it could
It wanted so bad to impress the boy
Through the gesture of beauty the tree
Gave birth to a flower bud
The boy was so happy he kissed the little tree
And with that birthed the space of love
A place by where he could always go
When he felt low
To rekindle his joy glow
As time went by that cherry tree
Became very impressive in height and flowers
She even started to make cherries for her precious boy
She would hope that her cherries would meet his lips
And she could some how return the kiss.
The little tree had fallen in love with her admirer
With out him she would not be here
Oh sure she might have ended up growing somewhere else
But would they have taken care of her and kissed her
Like her little care taker?
That embodied innocent love?
What a sweet love he possessed
Her cherries would be just as sweet she confirmed to herself
She worked hard for his kind words and appreciation
For the way his hands gently stroked the leaves
She was truly alive because he acknowledged her existence.
The little boy grew into a big boy and went back to his cherry tree
He had a bag of cherries he bought from the store in hand
I love that color of blossoms he said
My what a becoming color
Oh what is this cherries for me only three well I will let them be
Then he left and went into the house
The cherry tree cried tears of sap, she felt rejected
What did I do wrong she thought?
How could he reject my fruit? my love?
And instead chose to eat the fruit of a tree he
Has never spoke to
That other tree could not possibly love him as much as she did.
Her sap tears turned magical and out of them came a fairy, it was her guardian fairy god mother
I want to die she said call a great flame to consume me now
Or the wind to rip me out of my roots
The guardian fairy said your love is pure true love nothing will end that my dear
I come to tell you we have heard your hearts desire to return his kiss back to him
So he may know how much you love and appreciate him.
With that the fairy turned into a beautiful maiden and went and found the boy
Fishing by the creek on his own
She told the boy all about the cherry trees wish
And said I must kiss you for her, she will feel it through me
She leaned forward and gave the most unique soft sweetest kiss he ever had and then she said
Do you know how sad your little cherry tree was when your rejected her and her gift of her cherries?
Oh how bad she wanted you to take and enjoy her cherries
The very same place you birthed the love space
A place by where you could always go
When you felt low
To rekindle your joy glow
