Treetop Song

It knows its own voice
When light shines 
through its leaves; made
For bird prodigies.  

Sun is hung up to stay
In green notes high and low.
Through its veins, there is
a rhythm for the gifted stems 
to grow.

When my soul's tune cannot
be read, and is ragged-prone,
I hear the wind within its branches;
It reaches out for the bruise—
To home.

Nature and trees leave so much material to write about. I found this to be a peaceful poem. It is so sad to see a giant tree cut down. Some are 100s of years old, think of who used to love them then. The Giving Tree story comes to my mind when I read your poem. I love trees and your poem so much.

There is something about sitting under a beautiful shade tree on a summer morning and listening to the sounds of nature all around. I like the feeling of this poem, Paige, nicely done. John
