My Tree For Peace

As the cold winter sings I shade you from the frost...
In the spring I caress your roots so you can grow...
As summer approaches I sit under the umbrella of your colors...
And when fall swoops in I'm dazzled by your flow of visions...
Now it's my pleasure to tickle you till all your leaves scatter down...
For I can lye on a bed of your beauty as the season fades in with no sound...

Your imagery "tickles" my poetic fancy. Such a serene picture painted, draws the reader right into the verse. Just great!
