A Tree Thing


Every tree is its own story

Standing for decades void of glory

Swaying gently in the breeze

Bracing for winters freeze

Year after year, seasons change

Limbs and branches rearranged

Only when it’s cut for timber

counting rings to remember 

How tall and luxuriant it used to stand

Languishing seasons with no helping hands

Necessary for the air we breath

Oxygen, storing carbon released through leaves

Provides food and shelter; beauty brings

Life would be difficult if trees were not a thing.
