A Tree PoemA Poem by RelicThose mighty trees that spread their arms were once as tall as you. And none have felt the sweeping strokes of what a saw could do. Yet underneath those street-lined wings resplendent in strong wood - arise a row of rural homes where once, their brothers stood. And though I'll bask in summer shade I'll feel a tinge of guilt. We've lashed - with hatchets - many down to yield what we have built. "Quell those notions of demise," I hear an oak tree say. "Look around at what we've done and what you have today!" "The forceful sounds of violins, the sound of new guitars; The look and feel of brand new books, the storage for memoirs." Perhaps you're right old friendly oak but this I strongly pray, that all the trees upon my block avoid the axe and stay.
