So far my tree brothers and sisters have not defended ourselves in the forest, lungs of the world that we are. Pushing and sensing we grow for a century or more in that time we develop senses a type of sight, we have energy within and even inform you in our rings as to the passing of years, dose that not make you think, put your ear to us and feel the pull of our energy. Yes we look awkward and funny to look at in our random poses, you can even hide or shelter under our summer canopies and we cast our cushion of medallion leaves upon earth ground and do not forget our spinning seeds given to earth man for eternity…as you wander through the forest, we whisper and we know.
I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
A tree whose lovely mouth is pressed
Against the Earth’s sweet, flowing breast.
A tree that looks at God each day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray
[…]
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree
Joyce Kilner
Well Mason, God may make the trees, but you can truly, make the poems.
