All about the trees

I guess it’s all about the trees,
How they stand strong in the rains,
How they move in the wind,
How they find a way 
Through time, growing stronger
As years pass.
 
Yes, I guess it’s all about the trees.
It’s about the birds alighting
On their branches
In the warm spring mornings,
Where light illuminates 
Their myriad colors.
 
Yes, I guess it’s all about the trees.
It’s about shades of green.
It’s about shades of life
And how things are.
 
Yes, it’s all about the trees.
We can all find strength 
in the resolute branches.
Time will pass.
We will pass,
And the trees will remain.
I guess it’s all about the trees.
