Tree of Life

They sit at the kitchen table of the New York apartment 

Staring at the computer screen

The cursor blinks at them from inside the screen

 

They look to their right 

The empty wall filled with bright colorful posts it’s filled with story ideas. 

Then ideas strike the young human. 

They go back to the computer screen. 

The words start to flow and take shape into a story 

And soon they are in their world 

Transported from the wooden desk to a clearing in a forest 

As they sit at the desk

Their feet are stuck to the ground and have extended outward 

Knots form where toes used to be 

The feet sink into the rich soil 

Their brain grows tall branches with leaves on sticks 

 The arms extend out 

The skin turns into the bark 

And the heart is suddenly heartwood 

They stand there proud and tall. 

Well, the sun shines down onto them 

Ready to give life to the idea 

Flowing from their brain to the computer screen
