That Tree and Me

ah 
                                      but to lose 
                                  that need to think
                             to turn off those thoughts
                                    that exhaust 
                           the true nature of the mind
                      like turning off that faucet at my sink
                          so that I can relate to that tree
                                        and alas       
                                             be
                           understanding this existence 
                                     that surrounds 
                                             me

I love trees, tree and human have more in common than we often consider. Well crafted imagery.

I've just come across your poem George and love its structure and message. How many people take for granted the wonder of nature around us? I honestly wish the world would slow down a bit. Cheers - Gary.

Dear George, nature has so much to teach us, and it is only in the stillness that it can show us how to be quiet and introspective. Well written piece, God bless:)
