Wistman's Wood Dartmoor Devon July 2012

These trees are like creatures;

Singing earth held songs of ancient

Untold time

Bracken Moss Fuelled

Stories run down the mossy

Branches and slide into

My humble thoughts

Sitting here amongst such

Quiet shouting knowledge

 

And I wonder when mere words

Are done with

And the world again speaks

Again with wild language

What these earth bound trees will say of us

To the starred heavens above
