Tree limbs lifted
make me think of praise.
The ones in downward slope
like arms and hands that greet me—
and not
through what may seem
like thin or empty air
but through a medium
of bangled light and swarming life
as in a vibrant coral sea.
So beautiful Glen! How cleverly you have personified trees as devotees with hands raised in praise and as men who are standing in wait to greet us! Love the expression... 'bangled light'
hey, valsa! and thanks! i may have stolen bangled outright from somewhere else (don't remember where) , but it was perfect here for what i wanted to convey. always appreciate your comments. -glen

I would like to translate this poem
What a beautiful imagery here ! ! Tree's branches spreading upward as if in prayer and the other branches extended towards us as if to greet us with love and warmth.Thanks for sharing.
you're welcome, and thank you, bharati. i'm glad to be able to see glimpses of the world this way. back on a school schedule, i'll miss my early morning walks which provided the opportunities to take in the nature that surrounds us in our neighborhood. -glen
