A very old tree
looms in majesty over
the volcanic gorge.
--
Green and yellow leaves
sparkle in the morning sun
adorn her branches.
--
A yellow bibbed bird
merges into the colours
of the winding tree.
--
Its time has come and
soon all leaves will have left her.
Nurturing the soil
--
Naked and helpless
she appears - an illusion.
Yet, strongly rooted.
--
Soon the buds will sprout,
the leaves will turn green again,
rustling in the wind.
--
The cycle of life.
Can't wait to see her transition
again and again.
--
Morning awareness.
Please let me see this beauty
with an open mind.
--
Thank you!
