Yesterday I took a walk in the UK arboretum located on the campus about a mile from my apartment. I experienced this poem as I walked in the sunshine.
Walking in the Arboretum
Sun shining
Greenness to the blueness above
Birds singing at spring's birth
A tree before me
rising and stretching toward the sun
Wondering at the pink on its branches
Looking closely
Touching tenderly
The budding uncurling oak leaves.
Like a newborn's fingers and toes
one inch
exquisite, perfect in form
captured by its magnificence
I touched lovingly overwhelming beauty
Caressed the newborn leaf
Holding it tenderly in my heart.
Mother Nature smiled proudly at Her creation.
