I see now the tree

I see now the tree
represents life
first a shoot
then a single leaf
then others
a thousand thousand leaves
here is the tree of life

I seen now the tree
with forks in branches and twigs
represents the knowledge of
—the taking in—the choice between
good and evil
in this choice, in this labeling
is killing one or the other
bringing death to life

I see now there is
life and death
one follows the other
in natural waves as they choose
as they come
but we are not given the one choice
lest we upset the rhythm
