25425 - The huge tree

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

The huge tree
was in the school
from the beginning
as if it was protecting
all the children
who were choosing
to learn
with the Masters
of seasons
the value
of life
without the unawareness
of limitation,
because it had
surpassed the obstacles
long ago
because of height
since it wanted
to catch
the sky’s
blue
in order to offer it
to its beloved
earth.
