The Unseen Gift

In the morning I love to stand And gaze at the lonely apple tree Never touched by mortal hands It stands alone in a corrupt sea The gentle wind makes an ethereal sound As peace grown from seeds hang low The ripe young fruit falls to the ground And rolls to soil of its own In the afternoon I sit and gaze As the sun beams burn the fruit The wind picks up and blows the old away The new born seeds take root Eternal Sun gives life to these young Mother Rain gives food and love The young seeds sprout out to the sun The once weak grows up above In the evening I rest my soul Beside that once young tree Wisdom gained from natures bowl My breath is taken and spirit freed The tree has aged just as I Our leaves have changed colours many times Answers to life's questions you can not buy Put faith in nature and watch her signs

Additional Notes:
I use the British spelling of color...colour...so please don't say its a misspelling. I hate punctuation. I used it once where I saw it extremely necessary. Thanks.
