The Old Friend at My Window

by Cindy   Sep 11, 2008


Glancing out my window
Light Autumn breezes blow
Playfully dancing through
The arms of my old tree

Summer season coming to an end
Yet a new one awaits it's birth
Soon yellow will tinge green
On leaves I've come to love

One stately oak tree
My vision of the outside world
Allowing me to see
Vivid colors of nature's Fall

    I could feel the breeze and see the leaves as they turn their majestic colors for fall. Very well written.

    Cindy,

    I see you too have an affinity for nature, specifically trees, an oak in this case.

    Oak trees are to me, like old wise symbols of nature. They survey the landscape, quietly, methodically taking stock of all comings and goings. They gather this information and have over the years, hundreds of them learnt about man and his dark nature.

    In this poem, you praise not only the wise oak, but also the beauty of autumn and its place in the cycle of life, yours and the oak. You describe this relationship and it is clearly respectful. The oak has arms, making it almost human, suggesting that it does in fact posess wisdom.

    This is a colourful poem that has a richness of maturity that lends itself nicely to its theme. A poem complimenting mother nature on her wonders, one of them being her stately trees!

    Well done
