Thank you for the day under you

Jeanie

There you stand, as you've always done
From a time long before I was here
Spreading your cool green shade
Enveloping us in your peaceful grace

My heart beats faster when I see you
And I run forward, child-like, to stretch my arms
Across your mighty, solid, never-ending girth
I fall against you, leaning into you with wonderment

Rest my head on your trunk, looking up in delight
As you stretch upwards, forever into the blue
I feel the scratch of your bark on my cheek
And I could swear I hear you whisper to me

You know things, I sense it
Secret things twisted in your long branches
I'm sure you share with me because I feel
The soothing calm from our connection

I pull away slowly and walk backward, staring up at you,
Unable to tear my eyes from your lush green perfection
I fall down on the velvet cool of the grass and lie back
Staring up to your leafy crown.

Life is perfect right now in this moment
You, who have been here all along, a new friend
Them, who have arrived recently, old friends
All of us, together, sharing this perfect moment in my life.

Thanks love. Nothing fancy and I seem to have lost my rhythm but off the cuff I guess it wasn't too bad. More for the exercise than anything.

What did I tell you about that? Don't hold your breath!

Alright! Alright! I'll get onto it!
