Raised by the Trees

A beautiful sunrise
Through tree branches 
Dewdrops refract them 
A light show has begun
For a chorus of songbirds 
With a myriad of perches 
On friendly oak fingers 

Young oak leaves 
Applaude summer breezes 
They then exit the stage 
And give aroma to fall air
Trees willingly exposed 
Showing their true selves
With dignity and strength
Standing and swaying
While the cruel elements swirl
Withholding accolades 
Until the spring rains

Over beaches and prairies 
My feet love to travel
Yet open spaces become lonley
Since I was raised by the trees
