Freshening the air with scents, trees live to benefit others.
They swish into the sky's blues and grays. Add pigments in all seasons and glow at sunset.
With a stretch, trees might pet the clouds.
Roots create designs as they nourish the earth in reciprocity.
All leaves eavesdrop on bird conversations.
By a branch swish they call
to children
whose hands and fingers
fly on handhelds.
Trees wish to involve
those who cannot say
names of birds or flowers.
Applauded by the wind,
they offer housing and resting spots.
Immortal by capability, trees encourage translation into usefulness and art.
How will you honor a tree today?
