#trees poems on Hello Poetry

Their eyes are the same
but the glint is different.
What if you're the only one
seeing this side of them?
You are. (You aren't.)

Aren't you so special?

They're so charming. Seductively kind. Disarming.

Wake up. The lumberjack is pointing the chainsaw at your neck.

It's time to see the forest for the trees
or feel their roots absorb you for nutrients.
Your choice.
...Well not anymore.

You had your chance.
Now become one with the decaying forest in eternal vows.

Instincts are primal adaptations that saved us from imminent danger. Never let someone bypass your internal alarms because you let them smash the keypad.

Oak Trees Do Not Bend For Rose Blossoms

The sure fire cure,
To a spirit rotting your mind,
Is to leave your spirit behind.
Find somewhere where nobody knows your name,
Except the trees who know everything,
Rebuild your spirit there.
Fresh as the smell of pine,
Strong as the flesh of oak.
Remember what you were born to do,
And do it more.
When changing tradition,
Or burning books of lore,
You must keep the few that remain true,
Then dance in the ashes of the rest.

Mental health and illness is a battle. In the end we should heed the advice of professionals, but pioneer to find personal cures. Something to heal or help until we reach a place of peace.

Further North

Up to the trees I go,
Further north where fresh water flows.
Travel preparations with my heart aching,
Home is where I’m free,
Left alone just to be.
Not in this gloomy place,
Not within this heat wave.
Like a pioneer,
I pack my bags,
Leaving behind the places I know,
In search of the places,
Where I’ll grow.

I’m on the road, making my way up to the mountains. Travel is good for the soul, you shouldn’t dwell in the same places for too long.

The Ocean

I don’t know the ocean
And she doesn’t know me
Surely she remembers more
But I’m a mountains and trees girl
Patience is key

Written on the balcony of the condo we rented for the week

Fall to Spring

Amber trees shed leaves
To make an earthy cradle
For new seeds to grow.

Saw a haiku. Felt like putting one together.

Shared magic

Every purest element in life reminds me of you
cause I know you feel the magic too
The moon, stars, warmth of a gentle sun
sound of the wind, trees
those special spots in the forest where we run.

My first poem

She's a pure hearted girl
with the happiest soul
She talks to the moon
listens to the trees
speaks with the animals
and compliments the flowers

Yet, often she feels sad
because she loves too much
and thinks too deep
Her nights are sometimes dark
But every time
she pulls herself back together
and decides
that her personality
is too positive
to be so negative.

L.C.

whispers, quiet spells

i listen in
to the whisper of the trees-
like a silence that the earth
can’t quite hold,
words that try to be secrets
kept between the land and the sky
but the wind grips my sap-stained palms
and the branches reach into my soul
like bones crawling out of a grave
and into the air
quietly
but there.

The Trees

Feeling trapped in myself
So I venture
Into my favorite place, the forest.
Never before has my heart
stayed scared in such a sacred place
Until now
As I wander..

I wonder, I worry..
Will my clap killing mosquitoes attract a bear?
A man? Or worse...

I follow the news,
I listen to true crime,
I know...
I know Im not safe in the place that's always been a shelter to me.

The great and sacred trees know many wisdoms, and all of time...
Yet they cant predict the future.

The wrapping roots warn me

To run.

Run for my safety,
Run for my future...
And the little girl trapped in my past,
Who I've done all of this for.

Shes the reason I fight to survive...
But I cant leave the future I've carved out of nothing...

Where would I go?

Is it worth risking everything again?

I wish it would all go away.

Im so scared. The trees are supposed to shelter me from life
and yet my heart still races.

Maybe God is real... Maybe He can help me

Maybe I am cursed... Maybe I am destined to die young..

Maybe.. I'll never know all the answers.

But 200 years from now
when my bones are buried, come to the woods-- ask them about me.

"Go for a walk,' they said, 'it'll clear your head' they said..."
