Tree

Tree, standing in solitude,
Alone, tall and wide,
Protects us, provides for us, welcomes us,
Wood, oxygen, shelter,
We take from it more than we would be prepared to give.

Tree, never ending,
Growing towards the moon,
Bird lands on a branch.
It's home now, a nest will be made
And a chick, welcomed into the world,
Tree, welcoming and forgiving of our misdeeds.
