I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer

Fantastic combination!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could write or take pictures half as well.
Since I like to hug trees and talk to them too this post was my morning tea. Amazing.
Beautiful post. Years ago we made a trek up to the tiny town of Robbinsville, NC in our beautiful mountains. We had one of the best hikes through Joyce Kilmer National Forest. It was early morning and many views skyward were exactly like your photo...minus the palm tree? Lol
