To capture the essence of a tree is a lifetime journey for me;

It’s beauty and size are magnificent;

It’s soul can be felt in its shadow;

The touch of its bark is like a thick layer of skin that protects its heart within;

The branches long and winding reach high to the heavens;

Longing for Sun, Water, Air and a Life lived well;

Always reaching for one more breath

Reaching for the Heavens. ~ Anita Adams 5/31/15
