~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I walk amongst the trees. The trees stir in their leaves and call out, ‘Stay awhile.” The light flows from their branches. They call again, “It’s simple;” they say, “You, too, have come into this world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light and to shine.”

Such depth in this simple yet lovely poem. I love trees, except when there's thunder. Great poetry.

thanks for walking amongst the trees with me. I, too, love trees...the older ones speak to me...probably because I'm older :-) I appreciate your complimentary words. Have a blessed day, Sara

Lovely, peaceful, serene, and prophetic Sara! Each of us is needed and each of us is necessary in our time for, as Esther says, "we have come for such a time as this!" Lovely metaphoric write. So much said in your simple eloquence. Blessings of light as you shine!
