All That Are Tree's

Standing fearlessly beneath the sky.
A haven for creatures that fly.

The beauty of your many outstretched limbs
paint such wondrous pictures
in the subtle landscape.

Fires will destroy you so.
I would rather see
your natural state,
so free,
magnificent.

Strength and beauty so.
Climbing frames to the heavens.
Protectors and spies.
