The Australian Gumtree

I feel the scratchy brown bark run along my sweaty palms. This gumtree has a heart, flows and quivers. The sap glistens in the sun as it drips down the blooming gum. The branches sway from side to side as its fingers dance to the rhythm of the wind. The silky leaves fall to the ground. I wonder how old this glamorous gumtree may be???
