Like thoughts held deep within my heart, <br />The joy that rustling leaves impart <br />Brings forth life's greatest comforting <br />A breathing there of subtle art. <br /> <br />In trees bright spirit shimmering <br />Lies a true essence glimmering <br />Reflecting unto me in these <br />Their gentle substances they sing. <br /> <br />Eternal beauty-their soul's ease <br />That only heaven ever sees <br />An echoing joyful refrain <br />A lovely song-spirit of trees. <br /> <br />An effervescence they contain <br />Renewing my life once again <br />An inner core that has no bane <br />An inner core that has no bane.<br /><br />Kate Wiley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spirit-of-trees/
