Trees

Strong but calm Powerful and yet harmless One of the most grateful being in this world, beautiful by the naked eye I have been seeing them every day and wanted to talk, but they are shy They won’t betray you, they won’t lie They smile in the night, laugh in the sun, dance in the rain They are trees.

I am enjoying reading the very diverse poetry here this morning in my Soupland. Words pouring onto paper from poets souls. What a joy to be able to sit and read such wonderful poetry for awhile today. Have a very good day Oliver. Love, Carol

Nice sentiment... if I may paraphrase... Powerful, harmless Grateful in the world, beautiful in the eye shy... too shy to betray, too shy to lie dark smiles, bright laughs, wet dances trees.
