Five Amazing Trees

Pinterest sent me photos
of 63 amazing trees
on New Year's Day.
Here are my favorites—

Tree resembling man
both arms raised up
not in surrender
but reaching for the skies.

Trees stand still,
but you're walking—
Where are you going?
Is the forest not your home?

You've partied all night—
Now you're tired
and yawning
for a long restful sleep.

You are a surprised tree—
What marvellous miracle
did you just see?
Please share it with me.

Tree with three faces—
its branches portraying
youth, middle age
and old age.
