"The Churchyard Tree"
The noise around me faded
As I gazed on the churchyard tree;
Me ears no longer recognized the town's cacophony.
So peaceful stood that silent sage
Unscathed by time and tears,
Yet looking wise with history
Learned from these hundred years.

I could not resist capturing this beautiful tree in the churchyard across from my home. Everytime I pass it, I am overcome with peace and serenity. So yesterday, after buying a new sketchbook, this tree was a most patient subject.
Nobody laugh. It's been over two years since I have attempted drawing portraits and this is the first since that time. It's supposed to be my nephew, Nathan, but it is not a true likeness. I'm still practicing.
