The trees are the breath

of the earth–pointing to the sky

and embracing the sun in

their patient living that sustains

all else with their roots and leaves

connecting the whole to the whole.

 

However separate we claim to be

in our independence from nature,

the trees are the link, the trees are

the sign, the trees are the vehicle

that drives our lives from beginning

to end that is the start again.
