                      The world sees red but passion is all it actually sees
                      The blue sky screams of naught but a beautiful calm
                      The  earth brings out green which to the learned is wealth
                      And in a class of its own, royal purple speaks of its elegance.

                      To the body, white is like peaceful waters flowing
                      The orange glow of twilight twinkles that the world may rest
                      The leaves in their brown shade tells of the practicality of time
                      And the yellow light of the sun shines for all to see with.

                      The enviable innocence of babes is foretold by none but pink
                      The grey crown of old age bears the wisdom of years past
                      The black drone of dusk reminds man of when life would no more be
                      If only men would look and reflect on the beauty and wisdom of nature.

                      Sunlight spills warmly between two towering, old trees whose thick, twisting trunks and wide branches stretch outward like open arms, their bright green leaves glowing against the golden light. The scene feels peaceful and hopeful, like a quiet invitation to care for the earth and watch something lasting grow. great tree TEXT: Mary Derringer, Plant a Tree on Arbor Day, Poetry

                      A stylized illustration shows a hand gently holding a small mound of soil from which a leafy green tree and plants are growing. The background is a soft green gradient with glowing accents, giving a fresh, vibrant feel. The MockingOwl Roost owl logo sits near the base of the plants.
