The body image of a sturdy tree
Presents the patience of serenity
And all about it, friend or foe, may know
That now’s a special time that they can be.
The body image of a brilliant flower
Seems weak although attraction is a power.
Whichever way the wind tells dreams to go
The now will follow blessing every hour.

Specially liked the photo of the tree trunk, showing its bark like a skin with its beauties and imperfections.

I’m glad you like that one, Danik! The tree is rather large, but it looks healthy.
