I am a palm tree
May 22, 2018
8,567 miles away, the palms whirl with the wind,
waving to the sea, and washing away my sin.
At the tallest lava rocks is where I stand
looking out of the horizon to the distant land.
As rain trickles over me, drop by drop
Getting caught in a storm makes my coconuts plop
Starting off as a tiny seed,
the sunshine shines, I grow into a palm tree.
