The Tree, Absorbed Visual 7

Absorbed,
as sun strips slow
her gown of midnight blue,
caressing warm, the land and sea;
the tree.

Do you remember the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer? "I think I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree." Well I did! I did just see a poem lovely as a tree. Right here when I read this little gem.
