Arbor Life

Clear skies cast away all the clouds that she weaves 
                      As I wander  through the trees on a cold winter eve

                      Mother Earth's breath of wind unaware of it's power 
                      While some fail to stand others still tower 

                      I wonder do they know how each one is unique 
                      Some strong and majestic, some frail and so weak

                      An old burly Oak with parts that have broke, whispers 
                      To creatures, come take my shelter I bid you my cloak 
    
                      Do they ponder a summer with fruit on the vine
                      What once was a sapling has become so sublime

                      The fragrance of Cedars with fresh morning dew
                      Are they tears left behind, did  they cry for the moon

                      A bird in a hollowed out Sycamore sings....
                      Does he know that her time to pass will come soon

                      No need for Man to tend what God's made
                      One pure and perfect life in a glade
