 "In trees, I see expression and soul."

                                       Quote by _Vincent Van Gogh


The trees are whispering as I walk the forest path,
they are saying to each other-   here she is again;
oh yes hello, nice to see you all dear friends,
how are you on this sunny warm beautiful May day !

Well, says an ancient maple tree my roots and branches ache,
you know I am 200 years old now so everything creaks;
it is the same with humans I say, in time we creak too,
but we do not live as long, so creak and groan maple tree !

The fir trees tell me that some of them are starting to lean,
no longer straight as in their prime but still enjoying life;
oh, we humans tend to lean in time too, old age comes to all,
I think you look majestic reaching up to the sky each day !

The young trees just giggle as I touch their tender leaves,
they whisper in my ear, we are going to grow up big and strong;
I hope you do (but in my heart I fear for them) I hope you do,
the trees are my friends since I was a little girl and I love them !

I tell all the different species that they make me feel safe,
and I love them all and they tell me they love me too;
I have learnt that trees have feelings and emotions like us,
they feel sadness, pain, fear, love-  and weep when cut down.

There is nothing more lovely than a tree swaying in the wind,
it is like a dance in the sky, a dance of many, I love their freedom;
so, I ask them if I can dance with them today, oh yes, they say,
so I dance among the forest trees letting go of all worries.
