Standing tall before you
Extending high above sharing its beauty
The warm hues of autumn
Illuminated by the sun beyond
Raining golden beams of light across the skin
Feeling warmed, the smile forming
Breathe deep in
Smell the kiss of ember red leaves in the air
Raise your arms to mimic her beauty
Feel closer to her then before
Bask in her beauty
She's happy to share it with you
Follow her many branches from the outside inward
As each branch represents a pearl of wisdom
It all comes together in one magnificent trunk
Having bared witness to the sands of time
Giving home to generations of animals
She is home
An island amidst the acres
Solitary and strong
Listen to the rustle of the leaves
Enjoy the gift of your tree
