Inquisitive Tree


The tree stood tall, looking at me,
as if iit had eyes looking exquisitely
Staring with questions, I have no answer for
Grounded in life with deep roots to the core
Strong, enduring, through all seasons to face
Many trees fill mountains in this northern place
I looked at the tree still and silent as can be,
knowing all the while, it has lessons to teach me

Heidi Sands.

Dear Heidi, You have beautifully personified nature's resilience and wisdom through a tree's inquisitive gaze. It reminds me of the natural world's silent yet profound presence, grounding us with its deep roots and enduring strength. I loved how your words evoke a sense of awe and introspection about the mysteries of life alongside the steadfastness of the tree. This is a wonderful contemplative journey into the heart of nature's wisdom. - Blessings, Daniel
