What The Trees Say
Looking but rarely seeing
hearing but rarely listening
Touching but rarely feeling
Smelling but rarely sniffing
Eating my fruit but rarely truly tasting
Living but rarely celebrating
Dying but rarely mourned
Born again but rarely truly born
Standing centuries but rarely asked about my past
Rooted deeply spreading through the grass
shedding bark and limb and branch
and yet continuing to climb
always available
always giving
always groaning
to be free
