PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I stand in awe

As I watch the trees

Sway to and fro

Branches crack and fall

As is in the leaves

Elves were playing tag

The squirrels jump and run

Playing peek-a-boo with me

And all their furry friends

The birds sing their chirpy tunes

Hidden within broad leaf trees

Keeping the forest cheery

Fascinated by its inspiring beauty

I leave nothing behind but the trees

And take only my pictures with me

Hoping against all hope

Someone else’s eyes were pleased

So they do as I do leave and take nothing but leave everything
