They stand silent and empty all through the winter
Then about now they all turn green
Trees
Just amazing
Ever thought of the technology that allows hard wooden trees to produce soft green leaves?
Leaves of all shapes and sizes
Blossoms that appear almost immediately afterwards
Diffierent colours
Beautiful smells
Amazing shapes and clusters
And for most of us we do not even notice
One of the most powerful major outpourings of energy seen in nature
And we remark casually how nice it is to see green trees again
Often oblivious to the wondrous events that they presage
Animals and birds alike joining each other to start the process of procreation
Humans too seeing each other in new ways
What a cycle!
Take the time to experience the beauty of nature in full flow
Pay attention to your local fauna
Get out and enjoy walking in nature
Be alive to our world as it blossoms and grows
Spreading new life over the planet
Times might be stressful but nature is our balm if we do but use her offerings with wonder and appreciation
Appreciate your world
Today and every day

I'm looking for pictures of green leaves and come across your blog. What a lovely poem! The picture is so beautiful but what a pity I cannot see it full size. I especially love this poem because it was written on the day that my first baby was born. What a coincidence!
