Trees

Trees are amazing
Living sentinels
They protect us
Whispering 
Hidden knowledge
To those who
Are willing to listen
Giving us shade
Air to breathe
Offering life
Wherever they plant
Holding each other up
Supporting each other
And everything around them
We should all learn
To take more after trees
And revere them
For the amazing
Life giving 
Sentinels of the forrest
Instead of cutting them down

"We should all learn to be more like trees." As written now, very awkward. Escaping the demands of life, by going to the mountains and being among the trees, is one of the most satisfying things I can do.

This first part here reminds me of the tree in Pocahontas:
"Trees are amazing
Living sentinels
They protect us
Whispering
Hidden knowledge
To those who
Are willing to listen"

I love how you spoke of this here, so true, would love to see forests remaining up as well:

"Offering life
Wherever they plant
Holding each other up
Supporting each other
And everything around them
We should all learn
To take more after trees"

Nice write about "Trees". Simple and capturing.

[Ahmad Cox]

Thank you. I am glad that you like them as well. They are like love poems for the earth.

Far too many trees are cut to make way for the kind of growth which man thinks he needs to make more money! This is a sad practice. Trees give us much. Your poem speaks of how valuable they are to us!

[Ahmad Cox]

Yep. I wish more people understood just how wonderful they are.

I am glad it shows. I have a great healing connection with our mother and I try and honor her as much as possible.

God I just love the topics that you write about! I know when one writes poetry, it comes from the heart. So it's nice to see that you care about the earth so much. And yes, it's a good point that trees are sentinels of the forest.

[Ahmad Cox]

I am glad that you feel that way. I know our mother truly is close to my heart.
