Breath

by J. Daniel Beaudry

Tree, gather up my thoughts
like the clouds in your branches.
Draw up my soul
like the waters in your root.

In the arteries of your trunk
bring me together.
Through your leaves
breathe out the sky.

 

I love trees ~  their comforting branches which offered me a place to hide, while quietly I sat far above the eyes of those who were searching for me.

The wind whispering thru the leaves, softly telling me that I was safe.

Every year I plant trees, hoping they will grow tall and strong, one day to protect others in much the same way.
