I look to the trees for faith,
wondering if their season will flower,
if the opening I desire will lift
what lies beneath the pavement to open air.

Of fragile color awake in the light,
tenderly pushing toward heaven,
rooted forever in the Earth.

  1. I, too, look to the trees
    But to give form to the wind
    Telling which way it blow
    Which way I ought go
    From whence come a scent
    Like love’s after glow.

  2. How beautifully you expressed the confidence we may have in the cycles of life. We sometimes forget to see deeply how reliable these rotations are & how they effect our inner beings. Thank you Don, for your very touching poetry.
