Quote by Kahlil Gibran

Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,That we may record our emptiness.

Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them

Summary

This quote highlights the profound beauty and importance of trees. It suggests that trees are like poems written by the earth on the canvas of the sky, symbolizing their natural grace and wisdom. However, humanity's tendency to cut down trees and transform them into paper reflects our desire to record and communicate our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In doing so, the quote suggests that we sometimes fail to recognize the inherent value and interconnectedness of nature, using trees as a means to express our own perceived emptiness instead.
