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
