Golden Palm Tree

The day is just starting,

And the still timid sun opens

Its eyes, as the palm tree

Stands close to the ocean.

The large palm leaves, green

And a little yellow, welcome

The still soft sunlight.

The trunk, stylized and lengthy,

Moves delicately with the breeze.

No people around, only a few

Palm trees waking up.

The palm leaves also dance,

As the sun gets stronger, and

They become golden.

Soon, people will walk by, and

Another day will go by. But,

For an instant, the palm tree glows

Like a child’s smile.
