Saturday 7th

Today I am a tree, I stand here before you for all to see
My years of standing in one place has meant that I have a lot of memories
of what was, and can ponder on what will be
I know that as the seasons come and go, my history
is in plain view for all to see
my wounds have healed, and many of my arms have been broken
or been taken from me, yet I am patient for I know
that with the passing of time I will return to the earth/ Universe
Meanwhile, I will stand and wait for someone to notice me
I was strong and beautiful in my youth, my outer body is now
textured, my open wounds portraits of my many experiences
I salute you dear friend as you pass by and give thanks
that you did come by to spend time in my garden, my patch on this Universe.
May many blessings of the day shower your life with joy and happiness
Please come again, there may be less of my physical self,
but, always, my spirit will be here to greet you.
