I love trees
They do not judge
They stand still
They forgive
Imperfections
They do not try to fix
They sway
Branches waving
Leaves laughing
They do not lecture
They do not blame
Expect
Discourage
Abandon
I love watching trees
They stand still
They see
Their gaze pierces
This tired veil
Leaves shine and laugh
They shimmer in the sun
They know something
Branches extend
They make room
For a bird to land
With ease
They teach me
If I didn’t know better
I would spend my
Whole life watching them

Sameer, I loved this. Maybe this is what meditation does. Makes us trees even if it is just for those brief moments.
