Glistening light shines through the autumn leaves

Turning on and off as we walk through the shade

The trees greet us with open arms


Beckoning us over, “where my hug at?”

I feel possessed as my body walks over to the lumber


My arms curl around the soft lichen

My hands caress the bark with a loving touch

My heart feels the warmth of the tender trunk


And the chaos of the outside world disappears
