‘To The Trees’

a Terza Rima

by Caroline Burrows @VerseCycle

Cycling home, the road levels out,

But rising anxiety sends

Me round bends, to where there’s less doubt,

To the trees I regard as friends,

Who line the off-road travelled less.

One branch to another extends,

Leaves whisper their soothing caress,

Their green sanctuary easing stress.
