What first inspired you
To make a tree?
Was it the beauty of the form
Or was it functionality?

What were the thoughts
That were going through your mind
When you developed water -
Or the air we breathe -
Or plants and animals -
Or time?

Why did you do it?
Were you bored?
What did you do
Before you started this -
Or had you tried before?

Had prior failures
Led to this success
Or did you simply know
That you could
Pull off all of this?

The wisdom and the beauty
Of your plan
Seem so complete
'Cept when it comes to man:
How can we look
At all you've done and do
And still believe
That we know more than you?

Was that a flaw
In your design?
Or is the fault
Not yours, but mine?
