Solitary Tree

A few weeks ago, I found three tree sketches with attached poems. I���m not sure when I made them but thought I���d share them here.

Solitary but serene

The tree fills its space with strong branches

Grounded and healthy

Only a little moss on the north side

As it contemplates the flowers

Cushioned among its roots

And birds flying off in the distance
