Dan Cwiak Poet Rhyme

Silent Witnesses

If trees could speak, what would they say?
                 As they watch from day to ...
            Would they give their thoughts away?
                                If blood coursed inside of them, 
                                     Through a heart beating again and again...
                                Would they feel what's done to them?
       Would they talk of the many battles fought
            By men who only fortune sought...
       And all of those who died for naught?
                           Would they speak of the homes they provide,
                                 Across this earth so far and wide...
                           Wherein God's creatures do abide?
                            Would they discuss
                         the garments they wear,
                          Their Spring, Summer,
                             and Autumn Fare...
                            Or the white blanket
                              of Winter's care?
                            Would they continue
                              to stand, With 
                             boughs gently 
                           swaying in the wind...
                Silent Witnesses to a Greater Hand ?

CayCay Godwin December 7, 2015 at 1:44 AM Again, a great poem. I have often wondered at all trees have seen because they do seem to have souls and invisible eyes - you crafted a wonderful read reflecting my own musings and I thoroughly enjoyed it ... CayCay Dan Cwiak December 7, 2015 at 2:08 PM I always thought that the trees were watching us and keeping their own thoughts about us. I appreciate the fact that you have had the same thoughts about them. Thanks for the comments.
