Trees intertwine without a limit anywhere in sight
Possibilities beyond the reach of the branches
Their bodies are filled with life and color
Its stature mighty
but yet so kind to all things around
Its roots were resistant for it is in the undergrowth of the soil
Roots like open wide hands spread far and wide
just out of grasp
They distributed the air we inhale
Yet its choices held no discrimination
It admired and saw the beauty in everything
It witnessed the happy moments of
kids climbing up its limbs and seeing who could touch the sky first
The sweetest purest souls were their favorite
The trees still stood tall when the kids grew into teens
They would hide in the branches sharing laughs and so many secrets
Afraid that if they left the haven they would have to face the horrors of reality
As the teens grew the trees were still there
The trees witnessed the pain as one of the teens sat alone
in front of the tree, their first pet was buried at
It was there when they had their first heartbreak
It stood watch over all those years
Over and over again this cycle happened
But never once did the tree grow tired
It was connected to the Earth
And to us all
So as long as that tree stayed alive
It would continue to love and be at peace in the beauty of the world
