Breathing Peace



I am a tree,
breathing peace.
I  aged full of birdsong and hope
and fresh, dewy mornings.
In evenings, with sunset in my hair,
a wolf pup curls up
in one of my arms,
and the song of the sea
lulls us to sleep.

    Wow, what a talent! Aged full of birdsong and hope and fresh, dewy mornings.Make me think of a Tao Te Ching passage.

    How wonderful that we both went to nature (trees and birds) to help define ourselves. Exquisite metaphoric write.
