Unknown Ties

View from my patio

Pine tree twig nudges the other –
‘Look at the golden glow’
Wind chimes in to add its melody
Both swing with abandon.

Loaded with little pines
Both bask in the glory of twilight
I watch with delight
And feel connected.

The melodies of this tree
Change everyday – 
Soft in the morning breeze
It sings louder during the day.

Bound by unknown ties
I step out each time it changes its tune
My solidarity soars with each cadence
Our relationship gets deeper.

    1. Yes! Only if we pause and look around… Mother Nature offers so many bounties. Thank you for popping in to read my reflections arv, much appreciated.

  1. Reading this poem makes me realize how important it is to stop and appreciate the simple pleasures of life.
    I love that the cadence of the tree constantly changes, it’s voice and melody always new.
    Fabulous, Balroop!

    1. So true Mae. Simple pleasures are taken for granted! This pine outside my patio has inspired many poems and if I look beyond, there are hues of the sky to regale my muse. Full moon too joins every month to add extra charm to the scenario. 😊 Thank you for hearing the melodies of pine tree.

  2. Beautiful poem Balroop that is showing us how we can create every day a strong relationship with nature and how nature is our best teacher!
    I love it

  3. Lovely poem, Balroop! I feel connected with the nature also. I miss my garden when I travel and they tell me the same when I return. I love your view.

    1. This pine just outside my patio is a great inspiration to me Miriam. As the moods of Mother Nature change, it continues to swing and sing its own tunes and I can see it from my couch. Sometimes I try to touch it but it can’t be reached though it appears very much within reach. I am glad you are a great nature lover. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

  4. “I watch with delight
    And feel connected.”
    I loved how you bring presence with these words.
    “My solidarity soars with each cadence
    Our relationship gets deeper.”
    The concluding lines are so absolutely beautiful!!

    1. Today this pine is silent but there is an unnoticeable movement of pine needles. Little cones are sprouting and I marvel at their beauty…they seem like babies to me! Thank you for sharing your lovely words Prag. 🤗

    1. Thank you Diana. Isn’t it a blessing to wake up with such a view, savor this harmony, feel the serenity and watch the changing moods of the sky just from your couch? Anyone could feel inspired to write! 😊

  5. Such a great way to start a Friday, Balroop. “The melodies of this tree Change everyday”–so very true but oft forgotten. Thank you for this.

    1. Yes, so true Jacquie. I am blessed to have this view, which keeps changing its hues and moods every morning and evening. 😊 Thanks for stopping by to have a look.
