Birch

Birch

She walks amongst the wise trees
Light footsteps on leafy forest ground
Silver and black shimmering softly
Dark eyes drinking deeply
Greens and greys of the quiet woods

Her slender figure sways lightly
Fingers fluttering with emotion
Deep breaths make her drowsy
Dark eyes shining brightly
With excitement and elation

A bird settles on her shoulder
Softly singing to her ear
Black wings stroke the bark
Of Birch
Lady of the woods
Lady of the wild
Lady of the wind

Lime Tree

Lime Tree

Old, wise friend of words
Standing tall on the hill top
Branches spread out broadly
Dark wood deeply hued

Spring comes slowly
Sap is rising steadily
Soon buds will burst
Reveal light green leaves

Voice lifted in vigorous song
Deep tones drumming
Warm sounds welling up
Harmony hails the land

Sunlight stroking me
Through tiny leaves
Deep green and golden light
Fill my soul, free my spirit
