Dear tree; Are you happy? Sinking in the river, Feeling the water? I wish I could sit Here like you for ages Not having to leave Not going anywhere But life is fast and sometimes stressful I’m living in a rush don’t remember why Watching you here Makes me question Why I was hurried Why the pressure You seem so calm No time, no nothing You sit and enjoy The flowing water I need to be more like you Let life flow And problems too To be more calm To enjoy life more Get rid of stress Sink and let go Goodbye friend tree! My trip is ending I’m glad I met you, You have changed me #natureismagic

Your poem captures something profound—how nature forces us to slow down and confront our unsustainable pace. But that same river you admire is drying up in places. I read about 8 cities facing crippling water shortages by 2026; your "flowing water" won’t feel so eternal if we keep exploiting it.
