Tropical Almond Tree

A Visual Stimulation Walking Among These Beautiful Trees

To walk, and to sit awhile, Admire the beauty under The lush green canopy Of the Terminalia Catappa tree Also known as the tropical almond. Giving freely, feelings of Immense visual stimulation. Thousands of small Luscious green leaves, Sunlight dancing around their edges Protruding from young spindling branches Venturing out from the mature parent branch, Looking similar to a set of lungs, Lungs of the world no less.

This makes me smile and Breathe more deeply.

A network of intertwining veins Connected to main arteries Fed by its far-reaching roots giving Vital nutrients apparent in its Abundant healthy leaves All of this supported by its Sturdy heartwood trunk. Trees of vibrant life, Providing the perfect cover From the days’ hot shining sun, Allowing just the right amount Of energizing sunlight through Its gaps and shadows, Providing me now with a welcome Euphoric feeling Welling up through my deep breathing lungs inviting me at this moment to be Part of this Tropical Almond tree
