Great Tree
tree out my window
the various multitudes
call your branches home
world within a world
a mystery large to small
and each blade of grass

David, I am surrounded by tree's where I live
ReplyDeleteand each tree has it's own personality and a story behind it. Thank you for such a great read. Mary
Hi David. Thank you for sharing. Your poem reminds me of this big tree in our front yard when I was a kid that I sat under to hide from the hot sun in the summer months. I would sit there and meditate. Such a peaceful and good time. Continued blessings!

Hello, David, there seems to be a kind of spiritual message within your words and the joy about it is that one could get a multitude of meanings out of it. To me, I like the spiritual thought because it brings out a softness and deeper meaning of life. Beautiful! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net
ReplyDeleteDear Daver,
ReplyDeleteIndeed a tree is a home to birds and many other creatures. I love the way you describe it as a "world within a world." Surely, that is the case. It was wonderful talking to you today and I remain your fan always. Love, Carolyn
Hi Dave:
ReplyDeleteI am such a tree lover and nature buff.
You helped me escape into the spiritual feeling that
observing nature brings.
Blessings you,
