I never know where a poem is going to go when I start it. This started as a fun little thing about smoking too much, but turned into a good message. I hope you enjoy r/trees!

I smoked for the first time in a long while

When I was over visiting my friend Kyle.

He said to me, "Take it easy, this is dank,"

And as he handed it to me I said thanks.

But, did I at all listen to my friend's advice?

Of course not, because I an ruled by vice.

So, I lit that bowl and pulled on the bong,

And after a minute of pulling, I felt wrong.

Still, I inhaled, as deep as I could hold it.

When I finally breathed, I fell into a pit.

That's what it felt like, at least. Falling.

Now paranoid, I stared at his dog mauling

The piece of ham bone his master gave.

Lost in madness, I prayed I'd be saved

By some burgers or at least some sweets.

I worked up my mind to ask if he had treats.

Suddenly starving, I gulped down candy;

It wasn't a steak, but it sure was dandy.

Even so, I was still surfing around Pluto.

Something in me spoke, and I had to go

Deeper into the high, so I ripped it again.

This time, I saw patterns containing aliens.

I closed my eyes - enough was enough,

But something in me wanted to be tough.

So, for a third time I smoked that evening,

And just like that I heard the angels sing.

The sky parted and I stared into God,

Who showed me just how I was flawed.

She did it with love though, which meant

That I saw what She implied about intent.

Listen carefully, because I'm telling you

Just what made me change what I do.

She said that getting high was divine,

But I shouldn't smoke when it isn't fine

"Some days are meant for taking more,"

Is what she said, but then She implored,

"Other days are meant for just a lil bit."

I felt bad that I had chosen to get so lit,

But Her love made me feel all was good

And she concluded by saying, "You should

"Seek the middle way so you always know

"How to stay in the most perfect of flows."

And just like that I was back on Kyle's couch.

He says I sat there giggling, so he can't vouch

That my mystical experience ever occurred.

But, I'm glad I saw what I did. It's deterred

Me for getting so high my mind's a blaze;

Except for the sabbath on holy Sundays.
