Tree line
Trees
are the guardians
of
nature’s hidden glory
overflowing
into a raw, natural blur
demanding
a winsome onlooker.
Beneath
the escaping branches
vivid
purple vegetation
is
hiding memories
of
undergrowth and verdure.
Look
up to the sky—
that’s
where these boughs are pointing,
to
a film of radiant colour
and
super green texture.
Leave
it to the trees.
They
know a thing or two
of
the sheer class
of
natural beauty.
One of four poems written by Charles Jobson in response to paintings at the BEAT (Borough of Ealing Art Trail) exhibit at St John's Church, West Ealing in September 2019.
The painting is entitled Woodland walk, by the artist and © Barbara Jane Schofield.
