Tree and umbrella

Caring dove

Here is a tree 

talking with its leaves 

whispering in the breeze 

it has a voice 

makes a sound into the world 

whilst there’s a umbrella quietly sitting by its side 

without a voice 

without a sound 

without someone holding it up 

 

the trees whispering 

the umbrellas without words 

and there isn’t any rain falling 

she wishes for someone to come along 

to still hold her up 

allowed a walk 

as they walk 

 

the trees whispering with its leaves 

and if only for a moment 

she wishes to talk 

to make a sound of her own 

and an umbrella is meant to be held up 

but sometimes she wishes for someone to take her on the walk in sun 

 

Maybe it’s good that umbrellas by the tree 

as maybe someone may walk her way 

and take her on a walk

        Caring Dove, this is tender and beautifully written. The tree whispering, the umbrella longing for someone to take her on a walk in the sun...it’s whimsical and deeply human all at once. Lovely work, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

          The words that trees could speak to us would be wonderful Yellow Rose.
