I Love Shade Trees

I love shade trees Better than flowers Better than grass and bushes Sitting under luxuriant luscious leaves Full spreading branches The cool shade Neath the hot scorching sun Cool dry shade oasis of humid summers heat Nature's air conditioning treat Leaves emitting cool dry air Shade trees umbrella opened wide I love to plant shade trees And prune them too Use lots of dead leaves when you plant The dead life inspires the trees to grow Fast and big and tall.... quickly Drip, drip, drip, drip Trickle, trickle, trickle, trickle Water slowly seeping little at a time All day long All night too Allowing a deep steady soaking Penetrating deeply into the soil Much better than spraying into the air Quick and furious But quickly evaporated Leaving thirsty roots with just a tease Nothing lasting, with little benefit So like falling in love Taking it slow Learning each other Little by Little A slow steady trickle Slowly seeping, saturating deeply Taking it all in Absorbing you Like the slow trickle dripping Your thoughts and lips sipping All day and all night Reaching heights of love Touching stars above Allowing us to grow That only slow, steady saturation can know ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
