LEAVES OF FREEDOM
Alone but free like a sole tree with just the wind to release the energy
Standing statuesque in an open field not even anothers shadows to hide behind
Not forgotten it all was started with a simple seed, rising high from something rudimentary
Appearing out of place,memories like the massive roots,drinking it all in ,stowing it all away so cleverly
Learning to stand alone flowing with the wind instead of against it ,while also taming to not be so wild
Time recalled in rings stood the test of time maturing like many things ,capturing moments from a sapling to the elderly
Syrupy sap brings life to one or sends a message to the other of a generation gap,chlorophyll building energy is like kool aid for a child
While growing upward in a meadow or on a hill still reaching up & out ,air rustling it's leaves or our hair so tenderly
Some meek or seen as weak like an aspen or elm ,an old bloke maybe like an Oak or with the beautiful flowers or fruits and be so mild
Alone in the winter, lessons with another season,stark against the chill,building strong character like our will,bark like skin tough and leathery
Warm colors bringing falls beauty like we fall for another cutie,we are always adoring each other, but are they also seeing themselves as though they just smiled
So stuck in the ground looking around, branches like hands reaching out,spring green adding summers weight,but with age and fall the wind now blows, frees the leaves to make further inquiries R.C.

Our own freedom to walk amongst the trees was the original idea I suppose ,but we are sometimes stuck too maybe need the wind to let us release our own leaves or take take leave? I thank you for reading any thoughts are appreciated. "Peace Takes Practice" Rick
