Does it bring you peace or protection

What is the shade between the sun and the earth?

Where limbs grasp and drape, and fingers creep and twist over larger arms.

What is the colour of growth, that which is untamed and unculled, left to do what one sees fit as it spreads wide and full.

Is the shade low and old, providing protection from the grey, or is the colour a deep emerald that changes to bright lime as one chases the sun.

Thank you everyone for reading even if it is just one of you. I hope you enjoyed this piece. This was written while I sat from the passenger side of a pickup truck and looked up into the canopy of massive trees during gentle wind and drizzling rain. I was filled with such peace and stillness that it made me feel so blissfully small.

There is something so wonderful about being in the presence of nature; untouched and unadulterated. It has the ability to make everything you would normally think to be of utmost importance seem so insignificant because at the end of the day, it really is. What is the hussle and bussle of life in comparison to the grandness of our world and all it has to hold and teach us. We need only put ourselves in the presence of nature and learn to be present in nature so that we can know how to rest easy in its shade.
