"The Trees Have Many Colors"
by African Queen

(title suggested by Angeleyes)

bright and dull
dangerous and safe
bold and beautiful
elegant and soothing
either way the trees have a story
difficult to read at times
but demonstrate that
they are here to stay
branching to different
leaves with different shades
that have unique shapes
standing out from the rest
making it interesting
to know more about them
and what they hold
in their rough and protective barks
maybe fragile hearts or souls
or just more tough layers?
either way the trees
bare more than color
but a resemblance
to our society and lives...

Nice..my co-worker was laughin at me because I admire the many colors of the leaves...love the connotation that our society encaptures them.
