Tree people have a calmness,
they willingly bestow
with those who stroll
in their presence.
They vibrate their tranquility
around our hearts
as our feet plod
along the paths
beneath their branches.
They cackle or whisper
stories and songs
when the wind breezes by.
If we slow down
and listen
we will hear them.
They giggle
when grandmother spider
catches our faces
in her web.
