The Sea of Trees

A wall of leaves, the sea of trees -

   A verdant blanket on the hills

That stretches out endlessly -

   Uninterrupted for miles.

My body wearies from travel;

   I'm of a strange territory.

I know something of you all

   But you don't recognize me.

Now I'm arrived for what I seek

   And could not expect afar.

Won't you be as kith - oh, trees -

   And provide me some shelter?

Your swarm is a soft embrace;

   Your stance - admirable;

So many gathered in one place

   That're loved and beautiful.

Beautifully laid words from start to finish.. last four lines are as near to my thoughts as could be.

Have you read this book by Tristan Gooley: 'How to read a tree'
