Trees grow free
wild about breathing
stretching up
reaching high
they touch the sky
with fingers of branch outstretched

Shade grows wide
beneath her leaves
summers day
cool sweet breeze
wind to play her branches
winter snow
drawn out and low
her branches weight to bear

trees let go
as their branches dance
to the tune of the wind
the echo of a thousand leaves

Leaves twirl free
as they touch the sky
carried over fields and higher
they circle careless
they circle wide
they take too
tomorrows heir

Seeds touch down
to begin again
the circle of life
