earth’s symphony

i am jealous of the soil
that holds the trees
tall and still

i am jealous of the trees
that hold the leaves
green and glistening

i am jealous of the leaves
who can depend on the sky to rain
and the sun to shine
and the wind to blow

the most beautiful symphony
of devotion without dependence
effortless
intentional
unfaltering love
