M. L. Kiser Poet Haibun

I Talk To the Trees

I talk to the trees because they never talk back.  Such gracious confidants they are, so non-judgmental; never condemning or criticizing.  Of course, I do realize they talk among themselves; still they keep my secrets.  That’s one of the many duties of trees.

Trees in a forest;
Silent sentinels never
Betraying one’s trust.
