My leaves shuffle life and
broad branches shelter shadows-
the forest a domain.

Eagles patrol as updrafts
send them soaring
wings trembling in their journey

eyes glitter for feasting.

The wind acknowledges my
presence - whistles a crescendo
tunes deliberate

and with meaning.

A small lake is a nest for
mosquitoes - bats meandering
in display fully
occupied in the chase

ripples among the surface
highlight landing
zones - ducks accommodating.

Branches droop from
owl's arrival - Its hooting salutes
the evening in my presence.
I am tree.

A lovely nature scene I do hope that one day I can visit Canada. Who knows? There is a shrub here that has white, pink, and purple flowers it is beautiful in bloom. Some call it a Yesterday-Today-And Tomorrow. That I have from my late mother.

Thank you for your nice comments, Nolan. We have a beautiful country and the province of Nova Scotian I live in is really neat. Nine hundred thousand live here. A Japanese visitor said their country is about the same size with over one hundred million people.  Canada is about 5,500 miles east to west with lots to see. Come on visit one day.
