The tree, its trunk filled with light, is
a pillar that stands like a god
 
The tree is lush with love
tenderly sheltering a small bird
The tree casts a shadow of mercy
to harbor larvae harassed by the sunlight
 
The tree is totally absorbed in doing nothing
it has no time to rest
The tree accepts Heaven’s Will, so
it moves not even a step from where it stands
 
The tree, its trunk filled with light,
stands just like a god
Having drawn up tears from the Earth
all-encompassing light ever intensifies its glow
