The most beautiful things in life are the most short lived.
I have a new route to work from my new apartment. It's only a 10 min. walk now. It was the first day in my new flat, on my way to work, that I experienced this tree. I say experienced because it was truly an experience.
I first spotted it from a distance.
I wasn't planning to stop, but I couldn't help myself. I had to make a detour. I was lured away and seduced by the charms of this tree.
It called me to come and sit under it's luscious pink branches.
So I sat. I breathed it in and was renewed, refreshed, restored in mind, body and spirit.
It was hard to pull myself away. But responsibilities beckoned. I assured myself that I would stop here again in 4 days when I returned to work again. Alas, her glory only lasted a few days. I'm so glad I stopped to enjoy her on that day.

I'm rooted here my dear
And none will draw near,
Except a lonely tear
Which I draw from the deep,
A tree who does not freely weep.
Just one tear
I shed without fear,
My bark a bit dark,
The moon coming soon,
And then there was you,
Finally, at last, you!
I had someone that could share my beauty.
Standing here was not such a duty.
Wow ~ what a nice tree
Wow ~ what a nice poem from Brenden
