A tree’s sonata

Posted on January 27, 2016 By adcitlali

Don’t you adore the sway of that tree?   
It’s icy branches reflect moonlight,   
as slow motion sparkles.   

Don’t you want to join its rhythm?   
Move your arms gracefully,   
free your feet and shine?   

Sway away. Scintillate.   
Release your freedom.   
Adore.

    Appreciation of the tree. Simple, yet beautifully effective. Lovely.

    I find bare boughs in moonlight a perfect way to unite with nature… Somehow the leaves are too heavy for me… And dance sounds great in this dark season.

      Dance the dark season away, should be a strategy in these northern lands. 🙂

    Yes, I do. I love trees and indeed, they do dance with the wind. Musical.

    Lovely vision of human meshing with nature as dance partners.

    What I love about this most is that “Sway away” and “Adore” bring not only the feeling of the dance, the adoration…but also that becoming one with the tree can be done from afar, allowing it its own space, its own place to grow.
