stalwart ancient oaks
guardians of the forest
strength through the eons
willows enchantment
beckons goddesses of moon
safety amongst leaves
paper thin birch bark
wrapped around skeleton
canoe skims surface
sweet sugar maple
fountain of gold elixir
syrups aroma
olive grown from twig
splinters from strike of lightning
my heart and eyes weep
vibrant green cypress
softened branches in repose
vision of homage
a carpet of moss
wraps itself over a stump
majesty now past
once stately elm
created a street alee
landscape is barren
ever so soft pine
boughs replenish empty pots
winter greenery
acacia fragrance
wafts enticingly in air
bumbles buzz in joy
along lumber trail
blackened spruce limbs spear grey sky
home to night creatures
rowan tree of life
witches wand seek souls to purge
branches flame of red
