Trees Trembling

Trees trembling,
Catastrophic cries,
As leaves depart,
For other pastures,
Dressing down,
Reaching moments,
And places,
We can't,
Russling, their language,
For no one to hear,
The wind, breathing life,
Into staid, ruthless,
Emancipated limbs,
Stalking, talking,
Standing,
Alone,
Rooted deeply,
To no one,
Settling,
Piercing sun,
Dribbleing light,
To expand the view,
Dignity,
Offered nightly,
By solace seekers,
Memory makers,
Bouncing life,
From trunk,
To trunk,
Homesteads,
For heroes,
Who wish,
To cover,
Their nut.
