When you were gone
we planted a young tree
in memory
and twenty years later
I wonder how you've grown
Are you a gentle birch
sighing on the breeze
or an apple bearing maiden
I looked up at the tree
Down on earth it seemed to reach the stars
Slowly I reached for the rough prickly branch
The tree whispered “climb my branches”
Even a tree
must struggle to survive,
tossed and torn
in the wind and rain,
yet it grows stronger
and begins to thrive,
becoming greener
for all its pain.

When Winter winds begin to whirl around
and whisper through my long and lonely days,
I’ll light the fire and stoke it with a poem
and hope I find some comfort in a phrase.
February Waltz
A lone Maple leaf
Hung to the tree
all Winter through
snow, rain and wind.
Then one morning
She let go and floated
Slowly as she could
Across the houses
Children already grown
Kisses already forgotten
Plants already flowered
Flowers already burgeoned
Swaying arms of green
leaves, wind instruments.
Umbrellas of cool shade,
a tireless gift of love.
Welcoming my heart,
like long-lost family
to an autum dance,
of showering confetti,
Harvest is over,Crops are in, andFalls's first killing frostStirs feelings of melancholySustained by winter's cold,With its bare trees,Migration, hibernation,Wisdom of fallow fields and
Disoriented in a deep forestnoticing a strange looking treewhose dry bark was greatly gnarled,camouflaged well within its trunkthrough its knots it appeared like an old man with a long beard of white
she left me in a meadow
and as i could not stand the silence
i ran
past the ancient groves
the secret place of lovers past
but as i was not welcome there
i ran more quickly past

Avocado Tree
Shading my lemon tree
What the hell, avocado?
Every spring
that
gossamer
explosion
of pink,
of downy,
almost
frothy
white.
Those crabapple
and cherry trees
of my childhood
and that one in particular,
I lurk from the window,
To view a beautiful rainbow,
With its multiple colour seven,
And it looks just like heaven.
When the sun sinks in the west,
Stars with the moonlight,
The tall, grand tree stares
Down at me. I clim and climb
Up twisted branches.
(A Haiku)
In all the years I have walked among oaks ,
I’ve seldom sat and let their allures soak.
With their limbs , on hikes ,I’ve bumped my head.
Roots caught my boot ,on the floor I spread.
Trees, thousands of years old
Monoliths of perseverance and life
Great behemoths standing tall
Never giving in to all that assails them
Nor overtaking all that surrounds them
Me, only decades old
Time passes by and darkness begins to descend. But still the trees will not bend, the darkness creeps ever closer and brings the crisp cold air, yet the trees do not bend. The air gets colder as we all get older, here the first leaves fall.
The animals live as they
are adapted to live, but never more.
They are primitive. Without free thought,
without art and culture,
without clothing. The trees give shade
and shelter to the animals
But what am I focusing on?
I am only here for a short amount of time; then I am gone…
Gone with the wind, wrestling the trees, making crisp air for us to breath.
I often watch trees, because I actually like them
I may love them really, but regardless
I find them fascinating:
Standing upright like power poles
or bent over like blades of grass in wind
A weeping widow
Weeds of mourning
Covering your face
You hide in the dimmness of the Everglades
Moaning
For your nation

Waves crash gently upon the shore as the tide roles in-n-out. A semi powerful breeze cools the air
Standing 4,081ft up, I open my eyes to a 360° view of the Green Mountains. Wind rustling the leaves of the trees.
There was a time I thought nature had forgotten me. That I had been gone too long to hear her breathing. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let her walk out of my life like so many others, so I left.
I had a simple thought on a simple day
A spark of mundane revelation as our car passed on its way
A golden beam of sunlight shines through scattered patches.
Gold reflects on every surface.
The trees illuminate in a sunny yellow,
Signifying the timeless beauty that fall has bestowed.
What wonders the sky beholds,
What wisdom does the intricate dropets of clouds contain?
Trees of rich brown bark, of emerald green leaves,
Like a colony of trees,
Resources we share for all to bare
Twist and swerve; curl and duck
Drawing in and in, each winding root
Water, endless pools of pristine liquid
The tall twisted tree,
now after so many years staring down the same gentle rolling hill.
Her branches weave together with intertwining memories,
Tiny dancer falling from the sky
Pirrouetting off her twiggy perch
Then twirling gently, gradually,
Descending to the ground below
-
While in her mid-air journey
She joins a fancy troupe:
They tease the clouds and tame the hills
Tickled by moss, they laugh into rainstorms
Thriving in carpets of cement and mountainous landfills
The trees talk of truth
There grew a tree by my house of blue.
It was an impenetrable fortress,
That protected me from the harsh sun.
And yet,
Gave way to a gentle breeze.

Dear God,
Thank you for creating your masterpieces, trees.
Oh God, how nice are Your trees,
with branches reaching out
to You,
with leaves that gleam
in the sun,
with roots made to gather
naked under a juniper tree
bareboned and rigid like the rocky mountains afar
feeding on the old mulch
blind and dirty
burnished hazel protuberant eyeballs dumb as marbles
dialeted as the full moon
Often seen,Beneath all tree,Green feather fallen here.GentlyLyingCaringCryingBeneath all tree,Green feather here.
The Mountain tall,
It stands with pride.
It soars with trees upon its side,
A pointing shard,
Her Standing guard.
Waiting there below his Bride.
Dear You (yes, YOU, reading this),
when they write us down in history, what is left to remember us by?
will it be the rumble of our cars passing by? spewing posionus gasses that will fill our infant's eyes.
Oh look at the trees
the leaves fall every day
the trees dont blink an eye
leaves are meant to be this way
So why do we care
about the words someone might say
about the look of a stare
Life blooms all around you
Under your bare feet
Above your head
Birds churp
Insects hum
The wind whistles
Such beautiful music
You walk along
Guided by dandelions
In my neck of the woodsWe hide our fears In the trees aboveThat spout our stories for usIn the forested road. With antlers and paws With general retributionIn our own causes. We remember the waterBut are led to no whereBecause we wonder yet trembl
The whispers of secrets
Tucked away they lie
Seemingly quiet as crickets
Yet as boisterous as the sky
Bending down to touch the earth
Out of the withered hands of an ungodly nook
You don’t know it,
but sometimes I sit upon the branch of the highest tree at night
to catch a glimpse of this transient life we have on earth,
and take in the moon and the stars and all that surrounds me.
i look around this crowded place
my heart beats a little faster
who's face will be the last i see
the end of this final chapter
than i see the black dead tree
i stop thinking there is no after
I consistently identified comfort and company only
with Solitude
amongst the ashen and crimson stone
walls of my home.
Years I spent,
a myriad of mornings marveling
It’s cold this time of year
Bitter fights
White frosted hands
and words
School is tiring
Dull and monotonous
It is warm though
Up on the hill in Deer Island Park, a sicamore is felled.
no one attends it's funeral, or wears a black veil in it's honour.
a man used to sleep under that tree, a woman took her children there for picnics.
Even the trees are more interesting than I,
For their leaves change color.
From glowing orange to bright red,
They please any audience that drives by.
An applause in the form of a smile is what is recieved
Who are you? How did you do that? I cried as I looked back in time,
He wrapped his icy arms around my waist, we stood there, intertwined,
A soft sky above me floats
Wisps of cotton patterns blue
Up high the breeze cuts thin
Sounding out its sharpest notes
Tall in trees, I hear them sing
Raining feathers as the flew
All these branches,
All these leaves,
They're changing colours,
Like women's weaves.
They're changing.
They're rearranging.
They're bearing all,
For the winter.
If you get up underneath the trees
you might know what I mean
if you look up at their leaves
you'll see the world, in green
If you've been feeling down
its time to look up high
I wish to be like a tree
Have the sun provide all my energy
I crave to destroy what I was before
In order to become something more beautiful, a part of nature.
Instead I'm human
The worst of them all
Sweet sentiments the birds sing to me,
This greenbelt of tall and lean,
shimmering tropical colors of green.
It peaks through my window,
dancing facets of light.
Touches the skin and warms the sight.
Arms reaching
for camaraderie
Fingers intertwining
in wooden harmony
Hugs paper-thin
mutually caressing
Weathered hearts
Trees come in forms both tall and short
Rooted where they stand
Each day they have the same view
Of the world and its busy inhabitants below
I used to talk to trees. Often I sought their branches to hold me when I felt my body to small to contain what I held. They would talk me back into it- taught me how to grow inside a husk
As the light shines around me/ all I can see/ is the world broken to pieces/glass is shattered/scattered on the ground/there is no more green/rather everything is gray and brown/death hangs in the air/the fresh air is knocked out of me/what
The gusts of wind through the trees sound like laughs and gasps of ecstasy
the sharp grasss grabs at my back
to keep me grounded next to roots of trees
Then I hear the bugs buzz behind my ears
It started as a gentle breeze,a whisper in my ear:the weeping of a weeping willow,weeping out of fear.
'Why do you weep, weeping willow?There is no reason to cry.'
I know what to say,what to do. It's hard to be in this decay of dignity,of sanityand intuition. It's kind of like trees. Showers revitalize their boughs and leaves,like your ever anticipated but innocent presence does my mind and heart. It can rot
For those of you who think you know me I am just a resource.
Something to burn in the fireplace
to mix with another resource and written with.
To mash up and write on, I am the back drop of your life.
Alone on an island, on its beach where I lay,
where the ocean moves slowly, and the palm trees sway.
I look in the distance, where I see just the tip,
Of the bow that remains of my now-sinking ship.
the effortless breeze roared
while the waves were talking
the dark clouds got angry
while the palm trees were dancing
I am screaming
while the seagulls are chirping
the sun was smiling
Wisdom in each droplet
like a sea of broken roads
with each forgotten memory
to lighten the weight of loads
.
For every breath forsaken
and every tear forgiven
I see you, when you see me
I see trees dancing to the wind’s rhythm
I see children making music in the park
I see water moving down the mountain’s back
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
My family is the woods.
My dad is the dirt,
giving us a solid foundation to grow in.
My mom is the tallest tree,
overseeing everything that occurs.
My brother is the opposite bank of the creek,
(If I were stranded on a deserted island I would bring my love and respect for nature with me).
I sat up on the hill,
My gaze caught the shore, forest, and stream,
Oh, what a thrill!
T’was the most glorious dream,
We've stood here for centuries.
We've stood here since the first defiance
Shown through the eating of a fruit forbidden.
The other day, I saw a dead tree,It’s branches broken and its roots free.It had fallen down in a storm the previous night,Knocked over by the wind and all its might.
all write on the living
and not much of the dead
on a garden of fully grown
big, gigantic and enormous trees
trees of full green leaves
are what is written about
They have stood their lastBut autumn is comingAnd the trees are the firstTo succumb to the changing days.Their leaves no longer lively and green,But now gorgeous shades of yellow and red.
The hardwoods cry in color this time of year
As the sun sets an owls call from within the deep hollow can be heard clear
There is no path to follow, not one less traveled by, no direction to steer
Trees and brush
Have captured me
As you can see!
10 word only picture prompt!
i don't expect you to understand;
understand—you are not me.
you are not six seven three
one one four fifty,
chipped finger nails and did you see
I wish the trees had just met up
And said “let’s not be mean,
Why must we work so awfully hard
To keep our leaves so green?
Why don’t we halt this tiring race,
As odd as it may sound,
The air is sharp with winter anticipationComets with tails blazing: stage lightsHit upon the crowd, wondrousHis hair is Spanish moss thatHangs heavy from the oaks,festooned in beads and baubles
Your body is not a temple; it's a tree.
Equipt with branches for limbs and leaves for all the little in betweens.
Trees are meant to grow strong for years and years
with their roots consistently reaching further.
Where do you go when you want to be alone?
There are a thousand places in the world i call home.
Some I have only been to in my mind.
Others are high rocks reached after a climb.
The trees are Spartan spears,
Authority and valor pierce the Horizon—
They stand dense and hold light and Fog.
They do not bend for you and me, they never have.
They do not bestow Grace or Mercy
I saunter throughthe vibrant copseto absorbI becomeverdantI ama treeplantedby the rivers ofliving waters.
.
We can only climb as high,
As low as we can sink.
I love how you keep my head in the sky,
And never put a reign on the power of think.
I grew roots into soil I never wanted;
You know, there are moments in life when you just look at something that has happened and are disgusted by it. These moments happen far too often. It changes our view on life, and we become bitter for it.
Four trees grew in a clearing
A weeping willow
An oak
A dogwood
And a sapling.
A stranger planted the sapling
My mother and I walked around outside before her death.
She smelled of industrial waste.
But I tell myself she smelled like flowers, anyways.
---
A world so empty
A tree
all alone
grown by a young boy.
Who planted it
My memories of you are like the trees
Roots planted deep in the ground of my mind
Your branches, intertwined with every passing thought
I am a wanderer
I allow myself to explore the outer reaches of my mind and world
I am a wanderer
I allow myself to explore the outer reaches of my mind and world
The leaves slowling falling down
So many leaves on the ground
Branches swaying back and fourth
The wind moves them and makes them free
The trees look so alive
They move and they breathe
You are the waves of the ocean,
Unapologetically crashing to the shore,
Then seeping back out to the sea,
To rise and fall unyieldingly.
You are the trees in the forest,
Radiant and confident,
When I was 13 years old, I was sent to a public school. My mom told me to stay strong. To be a tree. With no one to know and no one to know me, I stood alone in the forest society calls middle school.
Where the air flows fresh and crisp
And life radiates shades of green
And orange and red and colors
That run deeper than the scars
Of the Earth;
Where the grasp of man halts,
Giving way to nature,
whispering
whispering throught the trees
telling secrets
telling lies
and
tall tales too
through the tall grass
and where the urban street meets the meadow
where the wild becomes tame
Green sap oozing
from great gashes
in trees
into
paper, furniture, and houses
all for human needs
like the great stashes of black oil
oozing....
into
lakes, rivers, and streams
I am carbon
a diamond in the rough
still dull with jagged edges
I've been through heat
and under lots of pressure
but I still don't shine
people look and stare in my direction
Oct 5 2014
The sun is sitting on the crown of the trees just due east. Reaching her arms through its leaves,
Holding it. Like a mother hugs her child.
I had a dream that
the trees were orange
and your heart was red and
I floated like dying leaves through
your head. you said
i felt like fire burning through
your veins. you spent
Pillows of cotton settle
drifting like ghosts
masking the view of towering stone
hair curling in the palpable air
drooping eyelids, heavy breath
heels on concrete clicking in step
Now that summer washed away,
and school is in full swing,
I realized there's no time to play,
or warmth until this spring.
I must look beyond the gray,
and look for all that's good,
The tree laughs
Children play below
On a hot summer day so slow
The tree is shade
And the tree likes offering aid
The tree smiles
A couple look deeply into each other's souls
What I wouldn’t give for a camera
to freeze this moment
forever
and always.
To show people the richness of the soil;
how it clumps together -
dark,
shifting,
Fingers wrap around her throat like vines once wound around her branches.
Hands grasp and shake her by the bark as the last of her leaves falls to the cold earth.
sometimes, I like to walk out side
and let my mind become heavy with pictures of this never ending setting.
things get a little foggy, when I can't seem to absorb
that one day
this won't exsit any more.
Heavy sunshine sets the leaves aflame
Until, by and by, it doth remain.
But then it cools and remains no more
Trees,
A thousand years old,
Touched by a thousand hands,
Fingers trailing softly over rough bark.
Trees,
A thousand feet high,
Home to a thousand birds,
The woods were encumbering in the sunrise.
My gut wrenched with uncertainty of the buzzing feeling
atop my forehead.
A little green creature rested in the nests of my tousled hair,
Woke up in a dream under asphalt treessoaked in the sap of the sweltering citywearing these old rat rags and sneering at the concreteGreyscale mindset stitched into my sleeve
The Treehouse
Wooden beams support, surround.
Ladder, crow's nest, food abounds,
Kitchen, rooms, high seas are found.
Magic beings to work her charm,
I love beautiful Blue Birds
Beautiful birds
Beautiful peddles
Different flowers every where
Roses are Beautiful
Wind is sometimes calm
The wind is sometimes very cold
A dying tree makes me weep.How beautiful it once was,how it will never be again.It’s branches no longer bend.It longs for sleepas Spring brings ever-closerits impending end.
What would the earth do
if I outlast forever?
The trees will perish
The flowers will relinquish
But life will continue on
Trees, the wind blows through them;
and all I hear is applause.
"What do you hear?" she asks,
"do you hear the laughter, and the happiness I do?
Do you hear the children playing?
If you think of Spring, what do you see?Flowers, eggs, bunnies, or bees?I see the grass, green and lush;The streams filled with a serene gush.The sky is a blanket, infinite and blue;
The tick tick ticking of time passing by
The climbing numbers of a clock while,
My mother tells me to stop, the minute hand
Whispers to the hairs stretching up
I plant seeds that I never see
The beauty that persists
Individuality among the mass
Her brow is focused
Perched upon it, an
Owl, soaring through the words
Into the unknown.
Her eyes lead
If trees could speak, they’d scream.
Their brethren die for the business man
And with them, everything.
The world is slowly turning
From green to gray --
From leaves to metal,
I poor it on my pancakes in the morning
i write on it everyday
it dies it dies
i want to to have privacy
so I close my door
i want to eat in peace
so I eat at a red oak table
it dies it dies
The knobby boughs, like
Witch's fingers,
Stretch heavenward
as if
Trying to snatch
A whiff of cloud
from
the
sky.
I will change how you perceive me
The world is waiting
Clouds clearing
Our eyes finally esteemed to what really may be
I believe the allusion has sewn our seam
The allusion of difficulty
Ancient oak, tall and strong,
Sheltering life beneath your branches.
Rough bark acts like a robe,
Protecting the wood inside.
Sleepy birds rest on your sturdy arms.
A crown of leaves rests on your brow,
I've alwasy thought they looked nice,Almost friendly.How their limbs are stretched upward,Like they are worshipping the sky.Always trying to reach and touch it.
Shining down, falling up
Spun in circles
Flung left, pulled right
Not sure where to stand
I find the ground,
Plant my feet, and begin to grow.
My roots grow deep. My arms stretch high.
A carbon atom is small,
But it can make you trip and fall.
It has many things to do in life,
So it will do it while he flies.
Carbon forms a bond with oxygen,
And they become the eternal bossing gem.
They travel through the world,
Something told me to take a walk.
I listened.
I grabbed the dog and out we went
Down to the woods where the wild things live.
The seed sits in the field
thristy for water
begging for sun light
A drop of water moists into dry skin
softens its body
another drop falls
followed by another
The trees see it all.
They live life long.
And the leaves fall.
A little boy will crawl.
Crashing waves and endless seas all across the weeping willow tree.
Mists and winds and children’s song leave an echo through them all.
And in this whimsy of life we find a spirit in warm delight.
If only I had wings. I would fly.I would fly not with the wind, but against it.I would not flow with society.
Run away though you might, you can ne'er escape
The clutching and the clawing of the trees that
Rip and tear and spoil earth below
with their gruesome limbs and laughing branches.
The day is bright but there is no lightYou wonder how this could beIf you were meYou could surely seeThe beauty infront of me
We constantly hide our faces, like the luminous sun shieldsbehind the colossal dusky clouds.
Did we ask to be born into a world of such scorn,
They would surely mourn for the the old ideals,
Since those are no more,
This is a new world, a much more flawed world, but freer,
You can hear the trees cry
As the machine shreds their friends.
All the leaves and trunks downward die
They cannot speak; they are shy.
They do indeed meet their violent end.
Bare Handed Catch
Water Splashing in my face,
Bouncing on the waves,
Going light speed behind a motor boat
Soaring like the eagle
Swish, Swish, splash, going side to side
I’ll walk through the forestTo be with the treesThey’ll sway with the windTelling a storyBut you won’t be able to hear itUnless you are quietSo I’ll sit on a rockAnd listen to the trees
Many times a month I go outside and watch the forest
I watch the trees dancing in the wind
I hear their leaves whispering to me
I sometimes understand what they say
And other times I do not
To use the antiquated metaphor of a paintbrush
stroking the sky creating brilliant hues, chiaroscuro,
the simplest form of beauty.
The heavens merely blanket the subtle art below.
Trees have always reminded me of lungs. They even kind of look like them. They branch out in the same type of widespread, fleshy mass with exposed meat, and their introverted veins; veins as in branches, veins that act as passages.
There's a beehive in my heartwhose bees buzz all nightthey’ve built honeycombs in my veinsmaking me as stiff as a tin man with no oil
I bleed honeyand it attracts bears
You know what they say
a tiny ripple can change the day.
When scary moments pass
we know the sun will rise.
You can always see it
the slow change.
From perfectly fine
So God made the birds and the bees
He made these trees
He made you and me.
Not for all of us the destroy and tear them down.
We say we're big and bad, walking around like we own the place.
The leaf falls briefly to its end, Next morn to be swept away.
The tree of life from which it came, Lives on to another day.
The plight of these is never seen, Through the mist and the yonder gray.
Started out small,
I did.
Now i have grown
Arms
Into the sky
Feet
Into the ground
From Mother,
we came;
Takes care of us,
she does
Small furry things
A walk in the park would be nice
the trees blowing, swaying to the winds rhythm
It's where the birds sing.
Watching as all the humans speak.
all the beautiful women flash in the latest and hottest fashion.
I am a tree
I am tall
I am short
I am a majestic titan from ages past
I am a tamed dog, born, raised and killed before my time
I am seen by the foolish as a barrier to progress to be destroyed and forgotten
Falling to the earth.
Blood spilling.
Screams chilling.
Utterly our ancestors a-screaming.
A cold winter night
Oh such a beautiful sight
The gentle breeze
Yet you never freeze
Coldness against the cheek
Wet grass beneath the feet
Chills down the spine
In a straight line
Fingers reaching light
Bare trees left till Spring
Wake up from slumber
Leave us gray morning
Arise to warmth and shadows
Welcome again Spring
The sun it shines, regardless,
The grass it grows, oblivious,
The water it sits, fathomless.
The moon it reflects, lovingly,
The tree it stands, determinedly,
The sand it moves, impulsively.
She weeps tears of dew;
Her humble boughs sigh.
Wind becomes her grace,
And the sun her hope.
She shields clouds of rain;
Veils her heart in leaves.
Weather won't weaken,
Her roots sink to deep.
The rootless trees are clustered together
They search for everything, except the roots they need to survive.
The windswept trees cannot stand long without each other.
They are blown around by the winds.
On a beautiful spring day, a child was born.
The whole family gathered ‘round at the sight of the baby, so adorn.
When dusk fell
The animals fell silent.
The trees began to stir
Whispering among themselves
"It's coming!" they seemed to say
The swaying of the trees
Puts me at ease
In the midst of anger
The strong wind against my face
Brings me to reality
Realities of the world
Looking up
through the bones
of trees that stretch
into a purple sky that
darkens steadily as the sun lays its head to sleep.
The first star peeps out;
a frightened child peeping
A box lies here
six sides folded inward
weak blankets of dead trees line my insides
to be used and discarded, built
for the the comforts of a sniveling little child who played in the rain.
Bees are sitting
On the Wind
Drifting
Feeding
On the Wind
Bringing life to those once dead
Bees are searching
On the Wind
The Mother Earth that once throbbed with life
Is falling into the abyss of death.
It is the human and animal strife
Which contracts and compresses nature's breath.
We see the trees
not just overseas.
They are in our grasp
but are quite the task.
We want to save them but
We can't point finders, or limbs
We don't know that it was him.
It is the season of sleeping late
while dreaming of red-orange trees
shuddering in the evening breeze.
These are the short days
when the thirst for warmth suborns desire
and Eros kisses summer love goodnight.
Where leaves are green and trees are tall,
Where water roars and eagles call,
Where night will come and silence fall,
There I wish to be.
A place where deer and wolf run free,
The trees
webbed together
in a mesh of branches and
unfallen sticks
A beautiful collage of things
as spider web of chaos
in natural canopy
but squirrels and chainsaws
the masters
Falling down, the fiery leaves
plummet to a cold rigid Earth.
How time goes so fast, it soars.
A gust of wind brings them home,
to become a mountain for kids soon to appear.
There is a sun in the sky
Or sometimes the moon
Either way
I’m not looking
At that
There is a river
It flows to the house
That sits on a hill
That flowers surround
But I’m not looking
