halting me in stride
you line nature’s catwalk
majestic and sprawling
massive at your base
wearing mottled bark
gnarled and knotty
early spring is flaunting
your naked beauty
rambling at your peaks
having accompanied generations
hollowed by time
a trunk offers storage and shelter
with summer’s haze I will return
after leathery leaves have unfurled
providing canopies dense and lush
in your shade and bloom
I shall sit
and breathe the air
