Poetry Challenge Day 25: Tree

Tree

You spread your arms
Over me
As I wrap my arms
Around you
My smooth cheek
Against your rough bark
Cut deep with age
And dripping with resin
I breath in the lemony scent
Of your needles
And gaze up at the shafts of light
Filtering through your branches
I feel your roots grow
Deep into my soul
As my spirit
Dances through the forest
With yours
