Good day lovely friends. Welcome to Hive Open Mic Week 165. As always, we have a very wonderful theme this week. Nature is something that everyone can relate to and I'll really be in doubt if anyone doesn't like a thing or two about nature. The trees, the birds, the refreshing air, the sun, the stars, the moon, the waters, everything is just amazing.
To key into this theme, I chose a song by Evie Karlsson titled Tree Song. The song speaks of the beauty of trees. How it provides shade for man from the hot summer sun and serves as a source of habitat for the birds. I love trees, I love plants. I think of their colour as unique. The way they beautify spaces and just give a serene look to the environment is beautiful.
Spending time in nature is one of my most effective tools for relaxing, meditating, reflecting, and pretty much just having that alone time. It makes me feel refreshed and ready to face life head on. I hope you key into this theme and just enjoy the performances of other people.
Evie Karlsson - Tree Song
Lyrics
I saw a tree by the riverside,
One day as I walked along,
Straight as an arrow,
And pointing to the sky,
Growing tall and strong.
How do you grow so tall and strong,
I said to the riverside tree,
This is the song that my tree friend sang to me.
I've got roots growing down to the water,
I've got leaves growing up to the sunshine,
And the fruit that I bear is a sign of life in me.
I am shade from the hot summer sundown,
I am nest for the birds of the heaven,
I'm becoming what the Lord of trees has meant me to be,
A strong young tree.
I saw a tree in the winter time,
When snow lay on the ground,
Straight as an arrow and pointing to the sky,
And winter winds blew all around.
How do you stay so tall and strong,
I said to the winter - time tree,
This is the song that my tree friend sang to me.
I've got roots growing down to the water,
I've got leaves growing up to the sunshine,
And the fruit that I bear is a sign of life in me.
I am shade from the hot summer sundown,
I am nest for the birds of the heaven,
I'm becoming what the Lord of trees has meant me to be,
A strong young tree.
