I wrote this poem below years ago. I had no idea about  who Julia Hill was back then. And today I was reminded of  my poem, when I came across her story. She is an  American Activist who saved Luna the redwood tree by living in it to prevent loggers from cutting off the tree and refusing to backdown.

Today I dedicate this very poem to her and the likes of her and their unwavering spirit to save trees.

The Lady on the Tree.

In the centre of placid calm stands an angel of hope and resilience.

She has birds of hope surrounding her haloed presence.

Be like the lady on the tree.

In the stillness of the water… sensing your spirit feel so free,

Climb the tree in the serenity of the calm and unwind.

Bring composure to the cursory mind.

Move away from the mundane.

And feel more humane.

See the birds dancing by your side,

Singing their sweet songs of hope that will always reside!

Tread gently and softly move

In your journey as you find your groove.

Climb that tree and rest awhile.

Witness the water silently settle.

Renew your spirit and discover your mettle.

Delve in the solitude, seeking the clarity in the calm, unbound

As in still waters run deep, the wisdom profound.
