first in a series celebrating earths day


Poem Artwork

 

While observing the
 exquisite beauty
of earths bounty

I pondered the many
ways in which we
can view a tree

a tree seen in the mist,
or touched by the
sparking sun,or in
different seasons

each give us a vision
that sets a different
mood,such as when it
blooms in spring

or in fall when the
 leaves are aflame
with glorious colors

or in winter when
they are bare, or covered
in mounds of snow

or in summer when
they are showing off
their  new leaves of green

besides that the enormous
 variety of trees
have such distinguishing features

we could spend forever 
just admiring Creator's
magnificent creation of trees

which brings me to the realization
that we can spend an eternity 
just being thankful for
each one of His creations!

So very true. When my hubby and I moved in to our house, we planted a Japanese Maple in our backyard. We have watched it grow ever since, and we know it will be there for a long time. We plan to plant more trees as the years go on. The benefits are endless. Nicely penned! Hugs:)

Trees offer so much that most never stop to consider. Stark beauty is one of their most obvious features. The contribution trees make to mankind are immense. Everytime I breath, I stop to think that trees contributed most of the oxygen, we inhale. They play a major role in controlling soil erosion. They supply us Maple syrup, cork, paper, and a zillion other things. Stately, shade experts, lumber suppliers. Trees are an integral part of whom mankind is.

We surely could, until they are all cut down. We should all plant a tree, this Earth Day.

That is a magnificent view in the picture. I love trees, they are so majestic and you descibed them well. We must protect God's creations for the next generation to enjoy too. Thanks for sharing.

Since that apple tree was spoiled by the snake (how God could let that viper in the grass get up there?) I have a kind of love affair with all kind of trees, more twisted or deformed more tenderness, and the surrounding nature like a way of God to compensate with beauty a little oops! from His brush...

Perfectly imaged passage of the seasons through the wonder of trees. Even the tall mountain pines, sans flowers, know the mid-summer perch of eagles, the spring and autumn race of squirrels, and the perfection of being a Christmas tree. Beautifully done!

...and to take it a step further, we can see a tree as a nursery for songbirds, a cool place to get out of the hot summer sun, a peaceful place to hang a hammock, their overgrown branches can become fuel to keep us warm in the cold of winter or to cook our food...trees are beautiful and serve so many purposes in our lives but it is their gorgeous stature,vibrant leaves, flowers and seeds that awe me.
Take care,
Sherry

If you stand in one place, cover your ears, and stare at just about anything involving nature you come away from it a changed person . . . The change may be slight, but you are changed . . .

I am a lover of trees. My father taught me respect for trees and all of my life I have nurtured them. Trees are the symbolic entity of life of this planet. Thank you, Eileen. Love and best wishes,
