100s Of Years
Trees can live for hundreds of years,
They well know to live together!
They tuft to earth, as child's to mom,
Light, water, and air they do share!
When storm does come they low their heads,
To show him respect out of fear!
The branches welcome, greet and laugh.
Leaves dance with the beat of the air.
The roots sometimes, take hold of each,
Thus, they make bridge, over the ditch.
What men ignore, they may do care
And mend that always, just to teach.
They whisper, and send their message,
Thru breeze, and soil, thru ether-
If nature lives, then all can live...
We should do that which can help her.
Hundreds, hundreds years they can live,
In warm friendship, fraternity.
But, we, intelligent creatures,
Can't keep this nature's sanctity!

very good poem, i like it...
..your poem gives a beautiful message..keep it up poet..
feels like the poet know the rhythm of the tree, its branches, twigs, roots and all.......a must read for nature lovers and a study material for kids.......
Nature cares.Humans do not.It explains that living organisms who think themselves intelligent are actually not worth it at a metaphysical level.
Great remark on your 100th, and the meaning and value is even more....Using words to make our brain function and appreciating is the best way to create harmony and to appreciate life....Such a great job! _Unwritten Soul
Mother Nature would oogle at these words, if she were a member....Nil, i'm likin' this fine..It moves like the breeze and its storyline and metaphoric play is simply simpatico! ~FjR~
We can't live without our precious trees - great poem Nil.
It is beautiful Nila, I love the trees they hug me when I am sad and give me so much comfort, I feel as they speak to me through their movement and I sway with the branches. This poem is pure expression of love for Mother Earth and our precious nature. Sublime!
