Octogram #2

Octogram #2

````Beneath the Trees````  

A winding pathway calling come,
beneath the trees.
Looks much less welcoming for some
you cannot please.
My fortress tall, it does enclose.
That I may rest in sweet repose.
The dancing sun peeks through the leaves,
beneath the trees.
`````````````````````````
The care's of life I'm set free from
such sweet reprieves.
The songbirds sing, and bees they humm,
on gentle breeze.
I come upon a pink wild rose.
Lift its soft petals to my nose. 
My place of refuge and of ease,
beneath the trees.
`````````````````````````
