A tree is a little explosion
of light in slowest motion.
Hanging thoughts on leaves and dreams
take root,
Appearing,
one day, blooming, in fruit;
Ready for enjoyment.

savored by those
conflagration of colors
and wind in the arms
of the old earth.
Waving the signal of nature.

A final line to bring the reader to your conclusion might be considered.

living in time simple enough
to rest next such a
conflagration of color
and wind in the arms
of the old earth.
