Forests being chopped down<\/p>\n
all around \u00a0the world<\/p>\n
deforestation<\/p>\n
all that miraculous growth<\/p>\n
and we are hurled<\/p>\n
Head first into seeing<\/p>\n
and feeling how morose<\/p>\n
How wasted \u00a0these great edifaces are<\/p>\n
seemingly each dose<\/p>\n
of destruction handed out to them<\/p>\n
nature finds its way<\/p>\n
of standing firm and remaining strong<\/p>\n
in the natural way<\/p>\n
we know they \u00a0provide oxygen<\/p>\n
and CO2 becomes<\/p>\n
An exchange<\/p>\n
In fact the godly role<\/p>\n
it\u2019s as if the trees are chums<\/p>\n
sharing and daring each other<\/p>\n
Helping each \u00a0other withstand<\/p>\n
the vagaries of the human<\/p>\n
Who messes with the land<\/p>\n
trees form their communities<\/p>\n
they prosper \u00a0and remain<\/p>\n
sharing minerals sharing moisture<\/p>\n
storing \u00a0heat and rain<\/p>\n
an Oak has many thousands of<\/p>\n
life forms in its boughs<\/p>\n
insect life and fungal life<\/p>\n
and wild life \u00a0and it showers<\/p>\n
shade and constant energy<\/p>\n
and all around it\u2019s roots<\/p>\n
We see a composting medium<\/p>\n
and in Spring we see fresh shoots<\/p>\n
trees left in true wildness<\/p>\n
develop and they grow<\/p>\n
being able to sustain themselves<\/p>\n
Integrally they know<\/p>\n
The \u00a0seasons \u00a0and they realise<\/p>\n
the need for extra power<\/p>\n
to withstand the blasts of Winter<\/p>\n
and perhaps the odd snow shower<\/p>\n
some trees like the cherry<\/p>\n
Hold onto their leaves each year<\/p>\n
aware of their \u00a0need to maintain their strength<\/p>\n
When extremes can be severe<\/p>\n
they do this a running maintenance<\/p>\n
assisting as they must<\/p>\n
to withstand man made dramas<\/p>\n
that can turn a tree to dust.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
some trees \u00a0like the Cherry<\/p>\n
Normally \u00a0smaller trees<\/p>\n
when skies are gray<\/p>\n
and light is stark<\/p>\n
When raking and hagging<\/p>\n
leaves it\u2019s mark<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
a weakening akin to light<\/p>\n
can be had it seems<\/p>\n
and it just feels right<\/p>\n
To retain \u00a0one\u2019s leaves<\/p>\n
Marcescence the term<\/p>\n
to wither or shrivel<\/p>\n
The germ<\/p>\n
the life force<\/p>\n
when sunlight is scarcer the tree<\/p>\n
Sees self preservation<\/p>\n
as the way to be<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
stalwart and creative<\/p>\n
in woods a creative canopy<\/p>\n
having leaves it earnestly<\/p>\n
strives to compete<\/p>\n
with the larger much \u00a0more dominant<\/p>\n
and will<\/p>\n
also be less inviting to<\/p>\n
Deer \u00a0predation<\/p>\n
Which might kill<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The weaker shorter trees<\/p>\n
with leaves to mulch in Spring<\/p>\n
all the help that\u2019s possible
\nto its spirit it can bring<\/p>\n
trees are so majestic<\/p>\n
visionaries in fact<\/p>\n
savants of the \u00a0forest realm<\/p>\n
Externally they\u00a0react<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
much like higher beings<\/p>\n
with sensitivity<\/p>\n
and much admired by creatures<\/p>\n
taking up their tenancy.<\/p>\n
hugging trees is like feeling<\/p>\n
a true hug from a friend<\/p>\n
its warm and there\u2019s such honesty<\/p>\n
you don\u2019t want it to end<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a free \u00a0exchange<\/p>\n
of combining love with strength<\/p>\n
and will and shows<\/p>\n
the medium of sharing<\/p>\n
and in ones heart and soul it flows.<\/p>\n
