the Secret Lives of Trees

The Secret lives of Trees.

Hear the wind…..carry on stories of the past
Strain your gaze, …may this sorrow wouldn’t last
Feel your hands into the soil, never has your soul
Feel so close to your own heart.
Aging questions your life has sought

Rooted in fears, waiting for years.
Branched in despair, yearning to be free.
You’d never find growth,
Come learn with me,
About the secret lives of trees

Let your birds rest in me.
Would the sing me song of your travels
would they nest their hopes
In my arms? Should they carry messages
Of my longings ….
Fertile seed, bring to me…..
Of sunny days, and summer breeze…
Nurtured ground, for bygone dreams

\ Rooted in fears, waiting for years.
Branched in despair, yearning to be free.
You’d never find growth,
Come learn with me,
About the secret lives of trees

when you hear me knock
On your bedroom window….
Howling tales of whisper…
You’ll know I have returned.
All pure and determined.
Come learn with me.
