in choosing a pathway
to follow throughout one's life
consider the leaves
always fluttering with grace
although buffeted by winds
trees being teachers
offer vast stores of wisdom
with beauty and grace
the most valuable lessons
are carefully taught
Author notes
In a tanka mood today...
Please tell me what you think

The trees stand prophets in the forest silent, pondering. Like disciples of the stars; seers of shadows; and mystics of the mysteries.
Wonderfully done, Carol, even leafless and bare, they are witnesses to the wonder.
Bravo!

Thanks
Thank you, Marianne. Trees are indeed all that you say,even when bare. If more listened to their lessons, the world would be a far different place.
