Earth Day musings

It took many hours, days,
weeks, months and maybe years...

Plans were made,

altered, re-altered and finalised.

The result was astonishing.

The colours were many.

There were shades of
brown, grey, black, green, yellow
and a mix of other bright hues too...

Variety was introduced,
so that, the interest would not wane.

The visitors were many.
So too were the noises.

Words flew back and forth.
At last a 'name' was decided upon.

An easy to pronounce name,
for both the young and the old.

Everyone okayed it.
T'was easy on the tongue
plus enticed the senses.

The older generation
could recall pages...
of fond memories
of overcoming barriers
and  endless struggles,
plus, of course,  the hair raising tales.

The Creator smiled
at the 'Trees' standing tall, just below.

The word 'tree' sounded  apt,
bringing to mind
a heavenly presence,
as they loomed up, high above,
carrying notes from
the Earth below,
whispering a message
to Earthlings...

could  you allocate
some of your precious hours,
to nurture a tree
in your lifetime?
