WOW: Nature

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

  2. That 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.

    Other than that, I am super impressed!
