Tall Tree Standing In Middle Of Hall Poem by Maria Sudibyo

Tall tree standing in middle of hall
For what purpose you grow so tall
Do you long to reach the beloved sky
Or do you want to show that you are so grand

Tall tree swaying shadow on the wall
For whose entertainment you raise so high
Do you dream to dance with the whole nature
Or do you enjoy mocking creature that shrinking small

Tall tree lingering in the brink of the fall
For how long you still stretch your branches
Even though lightning has tried to strike you down
Even though everyone eagerly competes to beat your line
