Trees

{Post: 19/365}

an ancient sentinel

and witness

of the passage

of time

and

of life

if you could ask them

a question

what would you ask?

what knowledge

of life

and of the earth

they must have

what deep and vibrant 

understanding

of the vibes

and energy

of all living things

what knowledge

of beauty and horror

they must hold 

in the fibre of their

ancient being

and then

to relinquish life

and return to the earth

I wish that they could speak

or that I could understand what they 

already try to say
