Tribute

The grand oak tree is dressed
  in greens
    gold
      oranges
catches a north blue strong breeze
  dancing
    swaying
      singing.
She sits upon a bed of grass
  patches of brown
    peeking through
      rich with golds
        and greens
      sparkling
    shimmering
  glistening.
Frost snips the tips of the blades
  giving in
    to a warm inviting sun
      bright
        orange
      yellow
    glittering
  reflecting.
The enormous brown trunk of the tree
  with roots
    like hands
      or feet
that reach deep beneath the earth
  unbending
    unmoving.
Encircled around the large round base
  children of browns
    whites
      reds
        yellows
stand together hand-in-hand
  dancing
    swaying
      singing.
