*Poem on trees*
In the heart of nature’s embrace,
Stands a silent guardian of grace,
A pillar of life, strong and grand,
The tree, the spirit of the land.
chorus
Speaking to you
hearing from you
Is a revelation of truth
Elédùmarè created you the spirit of the land.
Its branches reach towards the sky,
A network of life that never asks why,
Roots anchored deep in the earth’s embrace,
Connecting past and present, time and space.
chorus
Speaking to you
hearing from you
Is a revelation of truth
Elédùmarè created you the spirit of the land.
Oh, mighty tree, with leaves so green,
A symbol of strength, forever serene,
Whispering secrets in the gentle breeze,
A beacon of wisdom, for all to seize.
chorus
Speaking to you
hearing from you
Is a revelation of truth
Elédùmarè created you the spirit of the land.
Through seasons’ change, you stand tall,
Witnessing winter’s frost and autumn’s fall,
In spring, you blossom with vibrant delight,
And in summer, you offer shade so right.
chorus
Speaking to you
hearing from you
Is a revelation of truth
Elédùmarè created you the spirit of the land.
Your canopy shelters creatures below,
Birds find solace, singing songs they know,
Squirrels leap and play amongst your limbs,
Embracing the peace your presence brings.
chorus
Speaking to you
hearing from you
Is a revelation of truth
Elédùmarè created you the spirit of the land.
Oh, humble tree, you teach us well,
The interconnectedness in nature’s spell,
You remind us to cherish the land we share,
And to honor the beauty that’s everywhere.
chorus
Speaking to you
hearing from you
Is a revelation of truth
Elédùmarè created you the spirit of the land.
For you are more than bark and wood,
A symbol of life, so clearly understood,
In your existence, we find solace and peace,
For you are the spirit that never will cease.
chorus
Speaking to you
hearing from you
Is a revelation of truth
Elédùmarè created you the spirit of the land.
So let us for the trees that stand,
The guardians of nature’s sacred land,
Let’s cherish their beauty, their essence so pure,
And ensure their presence forever endures.
chorus
Speaking to you
hearing from you
Is a revelation of truth
Elédùmarè created you the spirit of the land.
Mimo mimo ni ti oluwa olorun Elédùmarè
Iba fun Elédùmarè
Iba Asee.
