Gumtree

Gumtree

 

By Muse Gong

 

Stands a huge eucalyptus tree in the backyard, standing under the tree year after year without paying attention.

In the morning, I gaze up at you from the balcony and see you in my eyes.

 

The background color of dark green leaves blends with the blue sky,

your towering backbone on the earth is tall and firm,

and the supporting poles are stretched and concise and clear amidst white clouds.

I see you bathed in the bright sunshine of spring.

 

Your colorful red, white, and green dance clothes accompany the beating of leaves,

birds glide, bees hum, butterflies dance gracefully,

your light swaying in the breeze is refreshing, and you demonstrate the elegance of life in the spring breeze.

 

In the scorching summer heat, I once again realized you. Small grass withered, tree bark exploded, insects whined, scorching sun was restless, and with the clattering sound, you leisurely absorbed the kinetic energy of the scorching sun.

You interpreted the adaptation of the environment to natural selection with ease.

 

What really attracted me was you in the pouring rain in autumn.

After the scorching sun, the rainstorm washed the earth and eliminated the eliminated ones.

After a long drought, the sweet rain was your fountain of life. You in the autumn rain made me understand the power of life.

 

What truly shook me was you in the fierce winter wind,

where the storm broke the roots of your neighbor's trees and rose to the ground.

Your crazy 180-degree dance allowed me to appreciate you, and the rhythm of your entanglement with the strong wind made me feel like I saw myself.

 

Ah. People praise the magical vitality of your king's appearance, and the sound of the waves rises and falls one after another.

You move with the wind and hold onto yourself, towering in the clouds, enjoying the world of the small harmonious ruling trees of the mountains.

I don't need to boast about you.

I am vaguely aware of the crystallization of wisdom, and under your inspiration,

I have gradually understood the personality enlightenment of the Venerable.

From you, I have stolen the path of life: resilience and resilience.
