Trees: Raise Your Palms To The Sky© Poem by Roann Mendriq

How gently sway the coconut trees,
upon a languid sun drenched shore;
Amidst the salty sea cool breeze,
like reeds upon a seabed floor.

How softly do their whispers sound,
heeding the quiet ocean calm;
Lulling, soothing, so profound,
as they raise each trembling palm.

And when the evening sun dips low,
to bathe the sea and shore in gilt;
The trees glitter in goldgreen glow,
and courtesy in a genteel tilt.

If only we would learn from trees,
Our lives would be tranquil, in ease.
