We are resilient
as trees
we sway and give
with the forces of life
we ground and get
uprooted
some days we even
topple over
We carry old stories
in the trunks
of our beings
every ring, every layer
tells our history
When we are still
we capture the whispers
of life's wisdom
on the breezes
When we are moved
we come alive
to nature's music
We are the strength
of ancient forests
We rise tall, solid
certain
Only sky and light
are there to greet us
