we stood together watching the sunset

i came just to be in her presence

she goes so deep and reaches so high

her grooved wrinkles and 

widening torso show her age

and yet she stands there--

steady--faithful--with love

i know i can count on her to remind me

age doesn't change beauty

life is about being connected

joy comes
from letting the light come through

she is always so regal standing there

love grows between us each time we meet

and sunsets will shine forever

i hope there will always be

one more time to stand there 

up on the hill

with that grand old oak

Note: if you're feeling lonely, feeling blue or just feeling lost in wonder, wandering, find a tree. 

Blessings to all you tree lovers,
jules
