Reincarnation

the sun shines down.
the rays heat up.
the water pours into the bottomless cup.
the palm tree leans.
the leaves sway in the wind.
the hopeful coconuts are pinned.
the wave comes crashing over.
the palm tree disappears.
the tree's worst fears.
the shadow dissipates.
the coconuts float and spread.
the palm tree is never dead.
the coconuts find land.
the sand buries the seed.
the sun and water feeds it’s need.
the tree begins to grow.
the tree's past life is unknown.
the new coconuts set the tone.
the wave comes crashing over.
the palm tree disappears.
the tree's worst fears.
