So comforting these trees around
Their energy poured about
To hug them as the need to ground
Or calm and still my shout
Their presence is a blessing
Amongst the noisy din
Our thoughts always pressing
Absorbed through their darkened skin
I am glad they watch the play
Remaining still and firmly rooted
Though wind may make them sway
Staving off what we’ve polluted
Being part of nature’s beauty
A treasure to protect
They are on the earth’s watch duty
To help us to perfect
By reaching higher and beyond to see
Things from another view
Can we be graceful as a tree
Standing in peace with me and you?
My impressions of the poem are; “soft” ,”reassuring” and “gentle”
