TREES ARE SURELY ~ THE HIGHEST FORM ~ OF PLANT LIFE !
WE TALK TO THE TREES ~ but they dont
Listen to US ~ they dont have to !
BUT ~ they do speak ~ in response to
WIND ~ in a language we cant comprehend !
TREES do not have to scream (like us !)
For attention ~ they have their own
PRIDE / DIGNITY ~ rooted to Earth
Their Branches & Leaves ~ Serenade the SKY !
A TREE has SERENITY ~ and
A PERMANENCE denied to MAN
Stays where its planted ~ and it has
GREATER INFLUENCE ~ than we*ll ever KNOW !
WE KNOW ~ that we will never see
Anything ~ LOVELY AS A TREE !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love A & B ๐งก๐๐งก
