Tall Oaks
Tall oaks rise out of the soil.
Abundant in the golden fall,
they oversee the many
all.
They creak and sway
yet never turn away
from another being.
Humbly they stand
with no face or hand
just arms & fingers.
So old and wise
they need no eyes
to know every story.
They have heard the rain
and felt the pain
but still they stand tomorrow.
Knowing what they know
the trees sew
the world together.
Keeping it from ripping
and only by just sipping
on the ocean far below.
We have much to be
grateful for and see
the trees get repaid
yet all we do
is use their wisdom to write down our own faults.
