Like a Tree

​I've been busy living free
places to go places to be
people to love people to flee
and the trees continue to stand there

Shifting reality written in sand
jumpin' and jivin' to our human band
live every minute 'cause nothin' is planned
be the leaves fluttering softly

Discovering self ignites cosmic light
embracing self provides pure delight
unbridled happiness void of all strife
now your roots will hold forever

Nothing quite like a big old tree with its huge wandering branches just beckoning to be sat upon while wondering who else has sat there pondering life. I do love trees both big and small.

Trees are such a delight. Living in the desert, our trees are so different. I forget what a great canopy they can be on trails and in forests. When I am around those big majestic trees, they take my breath away and yes I do hug them. Just because it feels so good!

I thoroughly enjoyed your poem today! From early childhood I have been impressed by trees: the huge live oaks of the south to the tall loblollies in our yard which must be almost one hundred years old. When the wind blows gently though those pines, it's a sound you will always remember, nature's music at its best. Many thanks.
