Know Trees

——- Know...Trees The sun flatters the trees: “Send your exquisite growing higher! Closer to me!” The sky invites the trees: “Incline your branched crowns upon my pillowing blue!” God comforts the trees: “I have the count of every hair of every human head...and of every branch and twig you loft!” The twilight sings to the trees: “Find peace in your sleep: I will frame your silhouettes before the stars!” ———————————————————————— (c) sally Young eslinger 1/23/21 Thanks be to God
