beautiful tree, beautiful daisy

take a life indulged
and wise, 80 foot
White Oak
and place the sun
spontaneously upon an azure
canvas, and mother
will bless the land
with eternity.

but the moment a daisy
grows, the rays become harsh,
the shade engulfs the
green surrounding the tree
and falls a deep shade of jealousy.

the trunk starves itself of content
and mother begins to cry.
in the process, both the trunk
and the daisy decease -
all due to the comparison of two different beings which could never match one another.
