Here she lies
Under the shade
Of the tree she planted
And nurtured lovingly
Here she rests in eternal peace
So please be respectful and mindful
And don’t litter because she won’t like it at all!

I know it’s cold
But don’t expect much from me
I only have a glove to spare for you
Perhaps a branch of yours can wear a finger
The rest of you would have to imagine yourself
Being as warmly clad as that skinny branch of yours

Standing by itself
Unusual and unique
Branches arranged artistically
Leaves or greenery yet to dress it up
It waits alone for the arrival of the spring
Alone but never lonely
Unique and beautiful

Linger a while
Loiter on the bridge
Don’t be in a hurry to go
The other side can wait a while
The bridges we cross can change
The reality of our life in a few short steps
Weigh the pros and cons and then move along
Cross the bridge when you’re good and ready for it!

Seeing a rainbow is a rare treat
How it brings a smile to anyone’s face
Some think it’s lucky, others look for the pot of gold
You can explain the rainbow scientifically no doubt
But you cannot explain the magic of seeing a rainbow 🌈

There’s a secret place
A place forgotten by time
Enclosed in a crumbling wall
It lays vacant and seemingly abandoned
Look closely and if you’re lucky you will
See the tiny elves, pixies and garden fairies
Jumping in the piles of dried golden leaves
Running around trying to catch each other
But… Shush…… be very very quiet
Because one squeak from you and they’ll
Magically disappear as if they never existed

Winter decorates
The gelid and gilded leaves
Scattered artfully on the parapet
Glittering and shining in the winter sun

I really don’t want to look
Closing my eyes is not enough
So I turn my neck sideways
Pretending the problem doesn’t exists
It’s only when I run smack into it
That the reality becomes real for me

The vista opened before my eyes
Looked like a scene from a fairytale
The soft pastel shades blending with
The surrounding seamlessly, beautifully
The undeniable beauty of nature, marvelous

Crossing the stream
They needed to maintain
Their balance on that slippery trunk
Holding hands, they slowly progressed
One by one they reached the other side
Thank goodness that the storm
Had fallen that old tree across the stream
