Tree of Growth

Beauty in Autumn
Colorful leaves
Rainbows on trees
Gracefully dance
With flecks of gold
Shining iridescently
Floating onto sacred ground
In silence of earthly peace
Tree of life branches out
Embracing family history
Connecting hearts
Through all seasons of change
Past to present solving mystery
Strengthens love forever binding
In solid oak of memory

I'm in love with the scene you've created here. And I love how you use a simple tree to portray a sturn feel, this is work of a great poet.
