What is a leaf to the tree?

What is the leaf to the leaf? 

What is the leaf to one chloroplast in one cell? 

And what are you and I, God knows, 

In this tree with roots so deep,

trunk so broad, 

canopy so high, 

that we all fit… 

somewhere? 

How can it be,

when the tree 

is nothing to it,

nothing without it, 

that the light loves it, too?
