A Tree by the Autumn Lake Poem
By Pamela Storch
Far across the distance,
By a lakeside autumn scene,
With trees of changing colors,
Grassy carpet yellow-green,
The lapping of the water,
Strokes of sky and baby blue,
The clouds of whispered canvas,
Like the canvas peaking through,
A tree is standing by the lake,
A solitary place,
It needs no explanation,
Just the sunlight's warm embrace,
For if you look more closely,
Then perhaps you might just see,
Are you the one who's looking?
Or the watcher is the tree?
A Tree by the Autumn Lake Poem by Pamela Storch is a meditative nature poem that explores the quiet wisdom of autumn landscapes. Through colorful imagery of changing trees, soft blue skies, and a peaceful lakeside scene, the poem invites the reader into stillness and deeper contemplation.
At the heart of the poem stands a solitary tree—receiving sunlight, reflecting the world, and stirring questions about perception: Are we observing nature, or is nature observing us?
This poem resonates with readers seeking inspiration, grounding, and poetic reflections on presence, awareness, and the beauty of the natural world.
