self described overly pretentious tree

My height, a haven for haggard travelers, 
my arms a safeguard for their heads, 
Dripping rusty mustard tones from long and drooping fingers. 
My raiment arrayed at my feet; 
A glowing scarlet carpet
Touching my tingling brown toes 
As they wearily wander toward earthen warmth. 

My back is straight;
I am in love with sun and rain, 
All glory be to God.
