some secret hope.

So low for long, they never right themselves.

their myriad leaves in leisured dance -

What Do the Trees Know?
What do the trees know?
To bend when all the wild winds blow.
Roots are deep and time is slow.
All we grasp we must let go.
What do the trees know?
Buds can weather ice and snow.
Dark gives way to sunlight's glow.
Strength and stillness help us grow.

Sometimes in the evening on Summer days,
Even when there’s not a breeze at all, it seems

In every leaf of their leaves
And our feelings have had an illusion,
An illusion of what would please them...

Two Trees
A portion of your soul has been
entwined with mine
A gentle kind of togetherness, while

While their topmost branches
come together,
Forming a miracle of lace
against the heavens.

The mountain trees that grew between the pines were a brilliant blaze of fall colors, like fire against the emerald green of the pines, firs and pruces. And it was, as I'd told myself long ago, the year's last passionate love affair before it grew old and died from the frosty bite of winter.
