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.
