The sun reflects off the cypress trees
The bottle of water is stagnant
without a river to flow
drawing mosquitoes like a magnet
Our souls contemplate life
in this small place
how to escape
life’s issues that we face
The cypress trees thrive
learning to adapt
living in harmony
without energy being zapped
As we observe this forest
our souls are nourished
adapting to life’s issues
learning how to flourish
God made these beautiful trees
reflecting the peaceful sun
renewing our souls
as we let go of issues one by one

Piper's Adventures 
I guess that my favorite wood is cypress. Cypress is durable, lightweight and resistant to rotting, it is relatively free of knots, which makes it an ideal building material. God told Noah to make the ark out of gopher wood, and since no one knows for certain what gopher wood actually is, many people think that it is cypress and if it was good enough for God and Noah, then it is good enough for me.
Thanks for sharing. Cypress is a beautiful wood. Thanks for reading.
