Talking To The Trees

Gazing upon the outstretched limbs with history etched memories 

Each layer is filled to the brim of lastIng impressions that fate dealt a sudden jolt 

The bark symbolizes our own lives Intertwined at this moment in time 

Years may come and go but the trees have the answers if we listen beyond the thunder dome 

Counting the rings ,this signifies the lifespan of yonder oak at a glance 

Each one is rooted to the ground for which we live only by circumstance 

As the seasons go by with leaves falling to the grassy floor , we understand that our lives are in a continuing cycle to learn , grow , and to know the existence of God in our universe .
