Rainbow Treetrunks - New poem by Ruth Magnus, copyright March 4 / 2014.

                                                               Rainbow Treetrunks

Sometimes...  just looking at a photo of rainbow treetrunks makes me feel better in hours of stress

And ....if my window is open and the scent of winter smoke or eucalyptus washes in ...even better

At times like this, when my soul is sickened by too much mental graffiti and nauseas imagery

Trees and plants can restore me peace... as long as I leave certain books behind, for a time

 Early morning sounds are a relief ......compared to tormenting nonsongs with trashy beats

The sound of waves at the ocean is soothing and helps with nausea of the feelings

Rocks and plants, animals and seasons.... are all part of this – place... this thing, our space

My tree, the one I like to think exists for me, stands still, for me to see from my window

The twitterers enjoy him too.... and smaller creatures I can’t see from over the road

Fresh nature calms

It’s really simple

It sounds too normal

So very usual

But nothing’s better

Than the natural

The world of nature

On endless levels

Layers and sizes

Notes and colours

Scents and textures

Patterns, puzzles

Tones and temperatures

Harmonies, winds

Shapes

Rain

Logics

Lives

Grass

Breaths

Liquids

Snow

Northern Lights

Waters

Food

Panoramas

Thoughts

And

Explanations

Stories

Myths

And

Studies

Wisdom

It is all here on earth .... poetry and science are her reflections.
