A twilight of trees,
Give unto a silence golden,
which meets the special needs,
of the tender hearts spoken.
For they bequeath the dreams of scarlet lilies
Which bloom majestically upon a grassy hill,
Beholding to all their radiant, but silent glory,
which replenishes the sodden soul its fill.
For this twilight of trees has granted splendor,
And cast a shadow not on this heart so tender.
So I shall lie me down on this misty hill,
And sleep the faithful sleep of angels,
For I have seen His glory…felt His love, and have drank my fill.

I love trees too and to be able to create a poem in their honor is a fete made for immortality. I have trees here on the property that are poetry with every sweep of the land.
Enjoyed this one.
Love,
Susan
Oh, if only everyone would drink their
fill of HIS love, the world would be
a better place. Beautiful images of
peace.
