Standing immense, limbs wide
an entire universe exists inside

Rooted deep, fast and strong
Under these branches I belong

Sitting solitary but never alone
On a moss-cushioned throne

Lit by sunshine or moonbeams
Through lush green canopy seams

Songs of leaves dancing on breeze
With birds & insects as they please

Observing nature’s many faces
Honouring her myriad graces

Breathing out peace and bliss
This magnificent tree is happiness
