Tree Puzzle

Puzzle pieces

Fitting together

In unimaginable ways

Have you seen it?

Felt it?

Witnessed firsthand

Something that

Can’t be denied?

Trees

Our ancient guardians

Rugged and pure

Erect magical beings

Habitating our space

Our home

Our earth

Giants among humanity

Growing from

Tiny seeds

Into gigantic warriors

Enchanted beans

Universally spread

Offering freshness

And shade

I’m a self-proclaiming

Dendrophile

A tree lover

Hugging, appreciating

Their everlasting beauty

A unique occurrence

Has taken place

An admiring of

Old wood

Fallen warriors

On the battlefield

Within our forests

Touching, appreciating

Their gift

For me

For all

Of us

Take a moment

Hug a tree

Grow in

Your appreciation

For Mother Nature

And the

Alluring dance

Taking place

Every day

Drawing our attention

Back towards

From hence

We came
