A wonder stands before me

A wonder stands before me
No life would live without thee
A life that thou possess
That gifts the very rest
A gift of life and breath
That no one else can do
except the glory of you.
Awe spreads onto your leaves
as their greatness drizzles onto me
like flowers from a cherry blossom
scattered across the floor.
Thy branches are magnificent
The arms of which outstretch into the air and make homes
for birds to take refuge in
your trunk makes a perfect home
for critters large, small and tiny.
O, a charming wonder stands before me
Their life gives me air to breathe
And plenty of questions to wonder about forevermore.
