Ribs like spiders legs abound
Feathered fan like forms astound
Each limb seen from off the ground
Such intricacy that I have found
A symmetry of solace sends
To the tips and to the ends
Gossamer wings now sailing free
Integral parts of every tree
A meandering tortuosity
Even a gentle obliquity
Wrinkle and crumple and twist and turn
Helping the eye to so discern
Perches for birds all made to measure
And somehow they know of the treasure
Pigeons on thicker tresses they
More aware on a stormy day
Firmly embedded in the sod are they
The stalwart trunks that do sail away
Inch by inch upwards they go
Unseen by the human eye i know
The Beech is motionless today
Aware of the wind aware of its way
Filtering power with the intricacy
And of course the intimacy
Able to smooch with a forceful blast
For it moves and grooves
To the music cast
The significance of intricacy
And In plain sight for all to see
So deep with the trees you go Rex! Thank you for taking us there with you! xxx
