The Wind in the Trees

Just as the trees in the forest

are part of the soil,

the soil of the Earth,

the Earth of the solar system-

The wind partners with the forest,

building stronger and louder

embracing the trees.

The wind is rubbing and pushing the trees.

They are dancing together:

the wind singing Whoooo oooooh!

And the trees twisting and bending

Sending pine cones

searching for the earth

returning rotten alders

to the insects.

A small pine cone finds its way

onto a downed alder,

The wind falls silent

as the trees

whisper

quietly.
