Poem
MOTHER NATURE SHOPS AT THRIFT SHOPS I watched the trees grow strong and tall The rain and rainbows is how they were able to thrive I’ve heard tell of one, but as for me I’ve never seen one fall The only ones I stand among are vividly alive The compost was years of dried up leaves and tears The soil rich with nutrients that we may continue to grow Each summertime we did that which we did And in the windy and woeful winter each one of us simply hid Hidden from the wind and the frost falling down Hidden from the winter’s woeful wail Those were the times Mother Nature wore a wine stained gown And others when she wore second hand clothes on sale Trees all around me with stories thus to tell A thousand years old is quite a lengthy tale Then one by one my fellow trees simply fell Dead to end up a fence, a rod or a rail With a thunderous thud my neighbor’s roots could hold that tree no more The tallest of trees fell as a gasping and gaping crowd gathered around If a tree falls but no one sees it does it make a noise when it hit’s the forest’s floor? Then I am the only tree when I fall, although all alone, everyone will still hear my sound © 2011.…Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
