Trees

Oak tree

I was walking in the grove
talking to the trees, I rove.

Then, I found a downy leaf
a thorny shell, what a relief!

Belonging to an oak tree
with bendy branches, as I see.

On top of it, there’s a fairy,
That one day, I may marry.

Passersby are scared of her,
as her name Dryad were.

One day you may go for a walk in the wood and discover some enormous Trees whose branches talk to you. You may reach into the clouds too. When children climb Trees, they discover that they are very strange. Different magical stories, unknown words and creatures, fairies, ancient souls and gods are about to unveil.
