Trees In Context


Across the canvass that is mother’s landscape -

Witnessed by masses of green trees

That seem the same but different; one cannot escape

That each is described by how science sees:

 

A trunk, branches...  rooted into the ground;

Annual growths come and go thru all the seasons

yet, though time waits not, the tree is still found

waiting, waiting for the eye to behold the poetic reasons

 

For a tree’s connection to the generations,

That come and go - as leaves,

While profoundly remaining at the core of one’s intentions

And, beyond anything one doubts or believes.
