Merges With The Tree’s Thoughts

Is it a thought or is it a leaf that I
think I see yonder at the base of
a tree? Or is it a bird so still it
merges with the tree’s thoughts?

These indeed are things to ponder
in awe as the day emerges warm
from a mist of slow enchantment.

These are the moments sent
to wake me in a gentle reality,
a generous and restorative
consent of all-knowing trees.
