Solace In the Shade of a Tree

Does the breeze lift you up as it does me
  Do you find solace in the shade of a tree
Can you spend an hour searching the sky
  For a sign that all is well up on High

Do you marvel at the songbird's cheery tune
  at the ever-changing phases of the moon
Do you paint unforgettable sunsets
  leaving testimony's tedium to poets

When I got married I told my husband I want to live in a tree house. I still do.

Let's see: 'I still do' means either that you still live in a tree house or that you still want to. I think that it's the latter, but you never know. lol. ~ gw

Great write Gershon, trees do offer a solace to rest and review on life's journey, resonates with me.

Nothing like a tree, really: Shade and solace. Thanks, Reggae!

Hello Gershon Wolf, I find that the breeze is pushing me forward. I find the wind very pushy. I sometimes wonder-could the wind be a cloud with a face the lips open blowing the wind? I ponder. Enjoy your day my friend.

This is anything but tedious! To answer your poetic query, yes I often find comfort in trees, and the sunset, and the moon - in fact, trees symbolize hope to me, very astute write, gw!

I appreciate your kind and encouraging evaluation of this write, Michelle. Timbre, not 'Timber,' Gershon
