Poetry: Vol. 2 / 212.) The Trees Knew . . .

  


The trees knew...
Their watering streams
Had told them of it...
Brightness in the air above
And all around
Fragrant breaths in the low dew
Of the ground...
A brief turbulence in jars of nectar
Breaking out in sweetness
Passing beyond any prickling...
The sting of death swallowed up
In new liberty

What had not entered mind
Had entered spirit... and the sign
Melting in the sunlight...
Was pouring through the forest
Hints of it playing in the music
The streams had gathered from
The air, the dew, and the nectar
Watering the living trees
Teaching them knowledge
Infusing them with the hid wisdom
It had come... it was there...
But still they could not see it
