✵ Poetry│Trees

the trees are calling.

come,

they say.

come

and rest

just a moment.

can you not spare

just a moment?

for we have seen

the years go by.

and in the end

what remains

are the simple times.

like wind in the leaves.

and light in the shadows.

and joy in your heart.

Here is your daily reminder to pause and take a break.
