Trees Of Time

The trees and mountains
Stand still
Undaunted, unmoved
Through the winds of time

Sun and storms
Night and day
Through the years
Their essence unchanged

All of life
Dances and struggles
Around and through them
Still they remain

Is this why
The mountains and forests
Bring such peace
To the soul?

As if being near them
Connects the soul
To the very foundation
Of universe itself?
