Properties of Trees
Properties Of Trees
Trees own the land they are on
Anchored by gravity and roots
Fed by soil nutrients they are in
Sand is not always friendly
Some don't think but whistle on the breeze
Or weep with willows in the field
They have no hands to speak of
But with palms and coconuts they pray for rain
Greens and browns seem to be their favorite colors
But we can't vouch for branches
That break or bough at every chance between the drops
Trees live in numbers
Trees exist
Photosynthesis sees to it
Forests make them up to touch the sky
Animals are visitors
Refugees who use their properties
Some species don't communicate
Translating into timber, becoming lumber
Trees grow farther than the forest path
Standing tall along the shaded walk
Reach out to snow and woodland creatures
Deciduous ones lose their leaves
But not their character
Grounded with no where to go
Trees grow
