Thank you for the beautiful encounter
This dawn I understand by looking at you
that you have worked hard and long
and that you have thrived for years and decades -
time I cannot feel as you do.
Entropy patterned by living
Taking just what is needed and no more
Growing against & within time and environment
Work, how much work must be done
to sustain such single magnificence
Of a king tree individual.
Do you ache and groan?
Most assuredly all living things must ache and groan?
Growth painful yet fruitful,
Blessing alongside strife
Horse and carriage kind of thing
Tree King
Sky- backed chiaroscuro
Sculpted from hard living wood
Winter silhouette leafless
Branches show bone skeleton
Against sky
Designed in jazz measures
Sweeping the daily atmosphere
with evident strength flexibility
Authentic beauty
Stars and planets chase moons and crepuscule.
Twilight enhances your aura of grandeur
Solid, growing, living king
Behold the beauty:
Intricate design.
Fractal flow.
Chaos entrapped and made full.
Black against white
White against black
Together entwined
In you: Teach me
I am listening.
Finding comfort and satisfaction out my door
Outside watching Dawn manifest light and renewal
Evenings watching Sunset from inside
The enormous small moments gather peace
Inside a way too busy mind
A way to busy world for me to make sense of
The moon
Sounds of The trees
The birds
The owls, coyotes
I find today
An Earth untangle-ably ensnared
in its own filth
Complicated by
Piles of Absurd Priorities
And Nonsense
Dense with confusion
Miscommunication and
Way too much unnecessary pain.
And still there is light
Unbounded Beauty
In sky and Earth
And seasoned with human goodness
With unexpected joys and Meaningful moments
Love Laughter Music
Nature gloriously galore
*An electric fence around the yard would keep me from wondering off should I ever lose my mind.
