It is different here.
There are no bullies
or fights
or petty theft.
There is no injustice
or racism
or greed.
Only the green silk
of beech leaves
and stillness
that rises
like sap.
Inside the tree

Do you need the final two lines? I like the idea of the tree as an alternative/better universe.
Mmm… maybe ‘rising / like sap’ – I like the idea of stillness rising. Yes, as Martin says, tree as a better universe – lovely.
