Heal with Trees
Spend time with trees and let your stress diminish
We evolved in forests,
among trees.
Our beings love
the soothing lullabies
the wind sings
as it passes through the canopy.
Our eyes love the greenery,
our lungs need
the rush of fresh air.
The skin delights
in dappled shade.
Nostrils are pleased
by the blossoms.
The fruits
tickle our tongues.
Trees are our true friends.
Plant, preserve—
spend time with them.
Don’t disregard them.
You are breathing
on this Earth
because the plants
make sure of it.
Make the resolve
to break free
of soulless places—
and spend time
in the woods.
In the spirit of
Thoreau and John Muir,
they will calm
your burdened soul.
They are antidotes
to your stresses.
