Trees sway in the mind, Green colours compose the beauty And the lushness of the world stems from the heart. Old oaks polish into fat, juicy leaves And the heavy blobs of rain Droop off the tips. A canopy cast shadows from up above Onto the forest floor Dancing and twinkling between Old leaves, rusty, individual In their fermentation Smells waft from the browns and reds And feet create mushy footprints in the bed For future generations on which to compose their patterns And to flourish up to the sky and to the heavens. A child rushes to and frow With the wind swaying to the melody of play And the ball becomes the beat. It dances round the colours of the world And bounces off surfaces of wood And a bird sways and flows to the melody. The old oak With wisdom grown as strong as the lofty branches, Pompous and grand up above in the heavens Smiles down to allow the sounds to reverberate Into its nut like stump. The ball penetrates and commands the eye And carves patterns on the wood And so life becomes fun and merry And sways along with the trees To and frow in irregular patterns, Through and out And the bird looks and loves. The pink faced boy, Innocent, swirls And the melody is the beat of life.
