within the forest
the old gods have their options
when the humans stray
the whispering trees within
weaving their words of silence

Miffed Nature
a warm sunny day
blowing a gale on and off
The flowers looked stunned
tree leaves become ruffled beards
feeling the miffed undertone
Wandering
a restless spirit
the unfulfilled potential
wandering alone
unable to move on home
keeping the trees company
Redwood Tanka
Walking with the trees
Majestic redwoods hover
hiding their feelings
Shy at first, one starts talking
wisdom from the ancient ones
Autumn’s End
Winter tells the Woods, “The time has come for you to leave Autumn behind.”
The Woods hear Winter, yet Autumn still calls from far away.
The trees understand Autumn’s end and shed their sorry leaves.
Night Walking
The moon hides away
we pass fluorescent Lichen
covering the trees
Discount
A bitter Winter
They offer a small discount
Selling all the trees
Within the Trees
Walking amongst the old guardians,
the ancient ones who know all of our secrets.
Within the trees, we search for the old place,
where the water runs clear and blue.
Whispering trees tell each other their stories,
we find the lake in the starless night.
Wishing for a miracle or a sign from the gods,
the path of the Moonglade is truth.
Pink Roses
Her mind was calm until she saw the pink roses. With help, she starts dissolving; dissolving and running into puddles. She can't stop the ache, which clouds her mind and makes the pink roses blurry. There is only one cure; only the trees bear witness now.
Grey Tree Day
It is cold today.
A cold grey day.
Walking wounded after touching the trees, she sits awhile.
Now, a wounded healer, the trees will restore her strength.
