Trees

A magical place to be,   

If you climb high up in me. 

My leaves are minty green,  

You can find me soothing. 

I'm stretching out to bring you to me. 

As the night sky falls animals come. 

They snuggle up in my branches. 

Snap!

You’re tumbling to the ground. 

I can’t see or help you.  

Please be ok, 

Are you hurt or are you safe?

You cannot hear me, 

But,

I’m sending whispers to the earth, to keep you safe.

I sigh,

As I relax my trunk, my branches, my leaves, my roots,

Relief runs through me.

Another night brings a new day.
