Time spent among trees is never time wasted, For in their shade, my mind is always rested. Away from screens and endless distractions, I find peace in nature's simple attractions. The rustling leaves and chirping birds, Their songs are like soothing words. They speak to me in a language pure, And show me a world that's kind and sure. In their branches, I see a world above, Where creatures fly and live and love. I imagine stories and tales untold, In the stories that their leaves unfold. Time spent among trees is never dull, For in their presence, I feel whole. The world is vast, but here I find, A place to rest and ease my mind. So, let me spend my time among trees, And find my joy and my peace.
