The branches spin upward
Yearning for sunshine and light
The wind rustles through the leaves,
Peaceful as wind chimes
The sun shines through the branches,
Dappling the ground
The birds cheep lazily
Flitting from branch to branch
The leaves fall,
A waterfall of color
There is a calming aura spreading
Influencing everything in its grasp
The tree shields me from malevolent things
Like an umbrella of peace over the land
Lovely and simple. I read it 3 times to take it in.
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful. The language was amazing. There is just one thing I want to point out, please forgive me for nitpicking. I was slightly bothered by the line "The leaves fall...A waterfall of color" I just think it would improve a lot if you didn't use the term fall twice in a stanza.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I am super impressed!
Nice. Funny, the font you chose reminds me of my brothers printing. :D
ReplyDeleteAh, I love your use of language. My favorite line is "Like an umbrella of peace over the land" Very beautiful!
