Psithurism means the sound of the wind in the trees

And rustling leaves and if that is the case

Then maybe sitting under humongous London Plane trees

And listening to nature hum it’s beautifully soothing song

Wouldn’t seem so far fetched as a reality

Maybe my solace was always to be found 

with my back against it’s white and peeling bark

Maybe my quiescent soul was meant 

to patter its feet in gusts of wind
