The Lion In The Trees

Lion In The Trees

I love to observe the trees and the forest.

There are many favorite views.

As I view the edges of the hardwood forest,

where the forest meets the fence around the field,

The light and shadows, in their magnificence,

reveal the forest through the trees.

From a distance, all the lines, shadows and light

draw a beautiful lion amongst the brush.

He is beautiful in his magnificence.

His mane revealing a depth of character.

Just visible momentarily.

The light and shadows shift,

the drawing disappears.

A little time passes,

The sun frees itself from the clouds.

There he is again,

in his magnificence!

Is it thunder or the Lion’s roar, I hear?

I feel the roar of beauty and truth.

And thank him for opening my heart,

to imagine again.
