been spending
a lot of time lately with trees –
talk to them
when needs arise
talked to them
today
they
don’t say
in words
what’s on their
mind
– but eyes and ears
tuned eagerly
discern the signs
the moods
the tenor of their
graven thoughts with
subtlety delayed
I learned
they’re less inclined
than taciturn
but show their joy
in simpler ways
today
I learned
it’s Spring...!
