All the Lovely Trees

Not at all

What I wanted to see. 

Had I not been so focused

On self sufficient me-

I would not have missed all

The lovely trees!

May be the challenge is still yet,

A fine line between

Balancing &

Flexibility?

Does the forest have high valleys?

Cliffs, hills, and streams?

Do not forget the hollers edge-

Oh, be sure!

Examine every ledge!

Perhaps meticulous surfing of intricacies

Depends on gracefully meeting adversities….

Or somewhere in between?

Some call tragedy,

Some call love-

Many transmute former to above...

More still yet are calling,

As above so below-

For all the lovely trees…

Here in lies the secret to seeing what you want to see...

We conquered animosities,

leveled curiosity-

Someday you’ll write the book

About how we saved

Our lovely trees…

Actively seeing

Requires participation

& presence too

Sidelines no more.

Be inspired &

Be prompted

Adding your homily-

Ode to saving all

The lovely trees…
