Glad Branches

“Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time,”
said the joy-lover writer of the Mustard Seed Way.
Katrina Mayer, yay!

Julia Butterfly Hill, more than 700 days
Living in the branches of Luna, would say:
“All life is created in love”
And while saving that ancient tree
She believed deep seated good
Dwelled in humanity

But for me, while not profound,
Trees absorb the excess sound
Break the blast of July sun
Host bird choirs that sing at dawn
