Defined in skies...

– Oer Wout - Photo Challenge #64 ~ Neeraj


We dream
marching…
Ingrown into ground
roots,
our trunks
channeling
wisdom,
spangled
with skeletons…

one-sided,
imbalanced,
losing
the gravity,
rumors crawl
into wind up
songs
along the limbs…

any day
we'll get called
to carry/support
the Earth,
the planet
above our
hollow bods

just as the Earth
kept us save
many summers and falls,
defined in skies...

by Anna Albert ~ GIZMODO

  3. I hope that enough hear that call,
    when the time comes --- and we must give back
    what she has so freely given us.

  8. When I was a child I thought all trees lived forever. Though there are some that seem too... most do not. A lovely honorarium to trees.

    Thanks for stopping by my Sheila piece.

  9. I was especially intrigued by the rumors crawling up the limbs--that's how it feels to me, and I'd never heard it said quite so accurately.
