Sometimes how the trees speak through roots & all those hidden wishes & songs

How they break free through earths bossom so that their branches & twigs can carry thy prayers up above

The way these threads of someone’s Hope & Faith they wear,

Accepting all that you have to offer on the barks of their skin, like they’re being here is to carry all of one’s Silent longings

The shadows they leave like imprints of a dry point etchings & in the quiver of their leaves,

They nestled many a songs, Yet they Stand so still

I’m of the tree, that’s grows where it’s planted & homes many a wanderers in its shade,

Yet unattached to all that comes & goes, it’s learnt to dance through sunshine & rain

& when it withers it’s last leaf on an autumn note; It stands bare nude in winters offering its soul

Though Spring shall adorn the most supple of sun dipped leaves & through its pink blossoms, it shall Celebrate life

As much as it grew through a long Winters witherings

These images are of a park that coco & I walked everyday of our lives till he was with me for the last 13.5yrs & I still continue to do so,

Where his presence shall Always remain

To me, Trees & Pets both Remain a Silent Witness to One’s life;

While trees Stand Still Asking you to Pause & look within & pets walk along with the Same energy of Healing!

I Guess that’s Why their Love comes Closest to God, For they both remain A Silent Witness to one’s life, Whilst taking all of your pain & leaving one’s mind as supple as A New Born- Saying

B R E A T H E, Remain Still, Yet Move On!

For Coco & all the other dogs, Who make life here on Earth Beautiful
