Trees

I sit by my window
And watch the trees glow
They are lovely to my sight!
I can't ask for more despite.

I behold their leaves; they seem to reach
Something upward like a beseech
For blessings of sunshine and rains
Like praying hands of fettered pains.


(Info about the poem : From ancient wisdom, TREES are symbols of physical 
and spiritual nourishment, transformation and liberation, sustenance, spiritual 
growth, union and fertility)

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
