beech tree

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity … and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the person of imagination, nature is imagination itself.” ~ William Blake

beech tree, alongside
pond-- moves us to stop, sigh, dream-
as we move 'round pond

beech tree tells  secrets
if we were to be quiet enough-
heaven opens

secrets leak out of
feet into ground, as we go
walking--sharing peace
