The land stretches far and wide
Great expanses of dusty brown earth
But wait, look there, a lonely tree
Branches reaching heavenward
Reaching out to touch the sun
A gentle rain starts to fall upon its’ leaves
Lush, green and wonderfully fragrant
Hear its’ beckoning call to you
Take cover beneath my canopy
Rest oh weary traveler, rest
Let your thoughts run wild
Then free them from your mind
Run your fingers over my trunk
It’s rough; rich from growth
Pluck a leaf from my branches
It’s smooth with veins; rich with life
My roots are strong and run deep
Have a seat among them weary one
Let them cradle you while you rest
When you leave my embrace traveler
Remember the life that surrounded you
Keep all your precious memories
Reach for a deeper peace
Continue to wander and discover
Across this land far and wide
Great expanses of richness and wealth
