fears not
the seasonal storms
taller and grander
than most
deflects rain
absorbs pain
remaining rooted
staying true
to it’s core

birds will nest
& perch
squirrels will chase
& nosh
each
sharing a
magnificent moment

the shade
beckons you to stay
lay upon the soft pine needles
opening up to trust
and learn
the lessons
the magnificent shares

standing solo
yet living
within us all
