Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

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

Caren Krutsinger September 15, 2020 at 12:44 PM When I got married I told my husband I want to live in a tree house. I still do. Gershon Wolf September 16, 2020 at 2:46 PM 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

Reggae Magnet September 15, 2020 at 11:54 AM Great write Gershon, trees do offer a solace to rest and review on life's journey, resonates with me. Gershon Wolf September 15, 2020 at 5:56 PM Nothing like a tree, really: Shade and solace. Thanks, Reggae!

Darlene De Beaulieu September 14, 2020 at 12:09 PM 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. Darlene De Beaulieu September 15, 2020 at 11:46 AM Hello Gershon, your welcome. Enjoy your day my friiend. Gershon Wolf September 14, 2020 at 7:06 PM I love you musing on whether the wind is perhaps a cloud with a face... Wonderful comment, Darlene. Thank you for the treat, my friend! :) gw

Michelle Faulkner September 13, 2020 at 7:57 PM 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! Gershon Wolf September 13, 2020 at 8:44 PM I appreciate your kind and encouraging evaluation of this write, Michelle. Timbre, not 'Timber,' Gershon
