He is majestic
He is old and tall
Golden to red in fall
Deep green in summer
Enthusiastically budding in spring
After the cool blues of winter
The tree across the way
In the circle it sits
Twin maples that have become one
Branches grown into each other
Their lives now intertwined
Reliably, every season
Their branches spread a little further
Providing more cooling shade, more shelter
As they mesh in unison
Leaves glowing in the setting sun
Unfailingly bring delight to everyone
Silent witness of life around them
New dogs, new kids, moves, death
They remain peaceful, stable, quiet
They don’t shrivel down
As they gather wisdom
Instead, the tree in our circle
Matures increasingly regal
Full, vibrant and colourful
A moving evolving painting
That graces my mornings
And soothes my evenings
