The trees and their rootedness, trees as pillars holding the sky, trees as committed soldiers protecting our garden space- - - wow- -I love every line of this poem.Surely it will go into my favorite list

Yes, trees are so close to us, they are our closest neighbors. There are two big trees in front of my balcony; i greet them lkke friends every morning. They inspired this poem! I'm very happy the podm spoke to you! !

I found the whole conception, dear Daniel, marvellous.It recalls me the unity I sometimes feel with the surrounding nature.The metaphors you used make the trees around us unities of the universe, at least of our planet, equal important as us humans.So the sense is a duty to be humble, we should not be the tyrants of the earth!

Yes, trees have a special gift to calm us down. Tsvetseva had a special cycle of poems dedicated to trees. it is close in meaning. Isn't the interplay of roots and dirt a beautiful thing to contemplate? - very hot lines.
