the morning air
   crisp and clean
   finds me bare
   ... young and green

   with life's still waters
   flowing,
   with my roots
   still growing

afternoon skies
   endless blue
   older, wise
   ...reaching you

   with life's changing wind
   blowing,
   as my limbs
   keep growing

in evening's light
   time to rest
   breathe the night
   ... to exist

   on life's giving earth
   sowing,
   in my soul
   I'm growing

One's outlook can be another's expression.

Wonderful write...much enjoyed the read Craig.

Lovely words, Craig. Doesn't look like spring here today though.

.... ha,ha,ha ....

          "... to follow her, endless
              reaching to her warmth
              raging soils ...

              just for the chance
              to breathe ..."


          ... just a tree?

       Perhaps this was more than ...

              ... look pass the tree and see the forest!


                       Thank you all for the read.
