explosive color on high

Poetry
There’s Nothing Quite Like Trees
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree
-Joyce Kilmer-

Long ago they
Gathered
Here
Coming together from
Far and
Near
Building bonds with
Those held
Dear
Stoking resolve
And calming
Fears
The beauty of the valley
In which to
Peer
The sun to see
The sounds to
Hear
To laugh in joy
To mourn in
Tears
Long ago they
Gathered
Here
