His feet were solid in the earth beneath me His hair played in the stars above me His skin was rough against my cheek My arms circled him and I felt his strength I saw his frozen drops of sweat like diamonds in the moonlight I breathed in his musty odor Remembering a younger time when nature was my second mother He felt in my embrace everything I longed to say and like a kind old grandfather aged by a hundred years of wind and rain he pulled me in and gave me peace --------------- I grew up next to a forest and I wrote this poem when I was about 14. I loved the ageless timeless feeling of the tall trees. No matter what was happening in my life they always seemed so peaceful. When we went to Biltmore I saw this tree and totaly fell in love with it. It had so much character - it almost looked like a Tree Ent from the Lord of the Rings novels. Hope you like it and you have a peaceful weekend! ------------------------------ Texture from the Amazing Brenda Star!! www.flickr.com/photos/brenda-starr/6336466110/ ---------- Original photo in comments ---------- 8x10 print $12 16x20 print $34 HD Jpg Download $5 www.etsy.com/shop/AmazingPicturesByMTP ------- Twitter - twitter.com/mtpAmazingPics Google Plus - plus.google.com/u/1/107366270050510767614/posts Facebook - www.facebook.com/mtphotoii Blog - AmazingPicturesBlog.com
