More Tree talk

I could put the woods to words

I could listen all year and still hear their verse

I could fly along the plains

Hills and valleys, mountain trails

Heartened highways, lustrous lows

Darkened sky or lowered tone

Here or there, child, feel no fear

There can be no evil here

Savage sadness, yes, we fought

But look through lens of image thought

Your perspective turns the trees to skeletons

And a community becomes a hellish trend

There's danger here, of that I'm sure

But danger there all life endures

Can't you see how they dance, the trees?

How they whisper with the wind to their leaves?

Do not fear the coming night

Do not wait for morning's light

For the deepest forest knows

From your Self is where light glows
