Trees

Stanley Merritt

Pastoral
Trees green and yellow
Why you stand still solid as ever.
Life is passing you by.
Can't you feel it when  water touches your leaves
Can't you see it when a bird lands on your leaves
I get your solid as the earth on which you stand.
Trees the beauty of the land
Like people some sure and.some unsure where they stand
If we could take notes from you
We'd know all we have to do is stand.

About this poem

Represents solid standing of things certain in life. Living and dying.
