Matthew Brackley Poet Ballad

The Whispering Trees

Long ago..........
In a far off time.........
When trees could move
and trees could whisper..............

The King of Earth.........
Did bestow on the trees
A life of their own..........
The seeds sown

For the King of Earth did ask...
The Whispering Trees
a certain task........
Hide the Castle
Trees, to grow mighty and tall
Hide the Heartstone
That resides in the great hall

Trees, dense
trees, green
Heartstones' defence
The Castle ,not to be seen

For, not a branch broke
that a tree spoke
The shade ,cast
The trees, seeing all who passed

These mighty living things,
in which birds sing
The magic that rules us all
The Heartstone in the Great Hall

For, all things are alive
For ,all things have feelings
The trees
The beautiful trees
What they invoke
The words they spoke

The King of Earth
created the Whispering Trees
for hence.........
The mighty Oaks,Firs and Beeches
the Castle defence

The rustle of leaves..............
Is the whisper of trees
The paths woven through
The forest knows too

The Heartstone reaches all.........
The Whispering Trees
the rustle of leaves
the magic in the trees,so tall
