The poem expresses a preference to be horizontal rather than vertical like a tree or flower. It describes trees and flowers as immortal and daring respectively, possessing longevity and attractiveness. The speaker wants to resemble trees and flowers when sleeping with dimmed thoughts, finding it more natural to lie down and converse with the sky, believing they will be useful even after lying down finally when the trees may touch and flowers have time for them.
