time’s been good to me
my hide
though bronz’d
by the seasons
manicur’d
be crawlers and flyers
and autographers
still holds fast on firm feet
generations
of admirers
of passing glances
have I outliv’d
and might someday
my leaves never reawaken
your memories
your snapshots
be bless’d
for making me immortal
Love this!
Happy you stopped by, Linda.
This poem is a touching invitation for me to meditate on one of my most favorite things: trees. And I love the description of the tree’s skin or bark as “hide.”
Nature is one of my favorite inspirations, Leslie. You have a wonderful day!
What a sweet poem. I enjoyed 🙂
Many thanx for your comment and visit, Rozina.
My pleasure darling. Your blog post was great.
