Watching

 

Watching

 

For thousands of years our hearts have beaten as one,

In perfect rhythm with the pulsating earth

We breathe life into animals and humans, as you breathe life into us

Inside of us and on top of us living things dwell

 

For thousands of years we have been hiding, holding, and murmuring secrets

We know the paths that the enlightened ones walked

We know where the chipmunk lives

We know where the squirrel hides her nuts

 

For thousands of years we have stood here

We have felt the rich cool soil carrying nutrients to our roots

As the blue jay carries worms to her young

We feel the refreshing relief of the nectar of life

 

For thousands of years we have stood tall, proud, imposing

Many find us beautiful to look at, yet they are blind

They do not realize our importance

They see us but soon will forget

 

For thousands of years we have watched

We know the things humans wish to know

We know how the earth was before humans; we know how it will be after

For thousands of years after humankind has died, we will still stand, watching
