Echoes

When we were saplings
Eager to grow
We soaked up the songs
Of our natural mother

And we learned to sing
Repeat, repeat
Reproducing her sounds
One after the other

And when we saw
The subtle song
Of a single, stable
Tree

We learned it quick
So that it could echo
In our structures
For eternity
