The Gentle Giant Genius of Trees

Rustle, rustle, something outside,
What could it be?
A fox, a possum?
No, something big, something gentle,
Something,
Something,
Ah! A giant tree.
Yes!
Big, slow, ever swaying.
A beautiful graceful tree!
Its spirit passes by my tent!
I look outside!
It slips away, there’s nothing there,
All I see are trees.
But I hear it whisper,
And I feel its touch.
It sounds quiet and peaceful,
It feels warm and smooth.
I fall asleep,
With only a leaf as a souvenir to keep.
