A trees will

I spoke with a tree today

He said climb to my peak and I’ll tell u a story while the winds sway

I gripped onto a strong branch as I began my accent 

The tree spoke softly and said careful as u climb watch for the weak limbs 

             As I pulled arm by arm I get closer to the top 

With little influence the tree blows and begins

To rock 

I can see the shining sun through as I break the canopy 

Just a few more branches and I’ll sit at the star point of the feelings free 

        A place we can talk without anyone else listening 

A place we can bond without any sun shaded or missing 

     So my ears are tied to the lessons of the paper before written 

As the wind blows through the leaves and branches forming the trees each sentence 

               I’m in awe at what sounds and sights as I embrace the height and listen  

     A story told up so high

where we can listen closer from the roots and hear the sky 

     Now there’s three as we get to know one by one each 

A message to climb with a place to sit and post 

As I speak to the sky on a stage of higher notes 

The winds carry me to less resistance 

As this becomes a collective memory and 

Natures message 

          Now the time has come to return to the grassy but dry ground 

Where I can make my way home and contemplate what to do with life now 

       Will the fire dry my desires like flames to dry mats 

Or will I truly hear what that tree was pushing me toward and make the positive last 

  As I rid the negative with the past 

I spoke with a tree today

that tree told me it’s not a secret natures always here when u need to be embraced 

    So now I have a new friend that brings my self awareness to a higher place
