The Beauty of a Summer Tree

A beautiful tree,

monumental and mammoth

Surrounded by dark wooden seating

the tree stood still

waiting for company

One contemplates

meditates,

considers

all that is nature, all that is here

and what we hear, it might whisper to us

“you are free just like this tree.”

Wind and whispers whirl in

a whimsical wandering.

I am home.

Its leaves, lightweight,

swaying back and forth,

creating a soft wind that brushes up against me,

peaceful and calming.

Warm sun leaving a mark on the tree branches,

revealing summer in all its glory.
