Nothing Puts Us At Ease Like a Trek Among Trees

 

Nothing puts us at ease like a trek among trees...





 


the woods I was in today wasn't quite as colorful as the one from the other day
so I'm tucking in some of those shots for a pop of colour!



nothing puts us at ease like leaf-canopies...


 

nothing puts us at ease like stature of trees...






....where the hill and the field culled of earth's goodly yield
evokes a most conflicting tide...




Nothing puts us at ease like a trek among trees 
In autumn apparel bedecked 
Nothing satisfies hearts like the ache earth imparts 
As farewell spills in thrills unchecked 
Where the hill and the field culled of seed’s goodly yield 
Evokes a most conflicting tide 
As bitter and sweet with equal force compete 
In autumn’s arid countryside 

Nothing puts us at ease like the fine harmonies 
Of wind-song from wood-calliope 
Where over our heads the lofty lintel sheds 
Fall’s Magnum Opus, note by note 
A kaleidoscope swirling hunger and hope 
Into a heartache-humbled hymn 
As the hierarchy of time’s supremacy 
Beams bold on the red and gold limb 

Nothing puts us at ease like simple luxuries 
We take out of doors to full-taste 
Where the nip in the air grips and makes us aware 
Of preciousness we dare not waste 
Nothing woos and consoles like the anthem that tolls 
From fall’s late-day gold-dappled eaves 
Where change cannot faze or estrange nature’s ways 
Emphasized in soft-falling leaves 

Nothing puts us at ease like the stature of trees
Though they make us feel oh, so small
Nothing puts us at ease like cool sass in the breeze
Rousing a rush of pure fall
Nothing puts us at ease like autumn canopies
In orange-scarlet-yellow tat 
Nothing puts us at ease like a trek among trees
On a crunchy and colorful mat
