The joy of the trees

The little leaves  are red brown in the sun
The branches  out- turned shapes  are   full of joy
Little glitters play on leaves for fun

Eden was not totally destroyed
We return there in these glances rare
As nature and our friendships we enjoy

Living life, we never should defer
The sights, the dreams  we harbour  every day
The future is still fiction, if it’s there.

The  maple does not ask  the question, why?
Seek meaning for its life and its affairs
Like it ,we must now live before we die
