the heart of trees
is strong and staunch
they exude power
through every branch
they're singing out
to calling birds
they woo and sigh
The wind their words
a canopy
With leaf is made
they bring us coolness
in their shade
no creature do they
shun... despise
their flowers rare
offering gifts to eyes
in spring they flower
in summer green
in autumn russet
their flames are seen
in winter ****
their branches bare
but they don't weep
in angst despair
for in the bud
which they will send
they bloom come spring
yes they bloom again!
they can be cut
to bring them pain
but never in vengeance
do they find gain
they make a home
for birds and bees
The lovely, gentle
heart of trees.
