Tall Trees, Standing Still

Noveyre

Another day, gone

red flames to pale smoke

charred wood, to speak to

tall trees, standing still

 

overhead observing the fires burning

not at all concerning, they're focusing

on the

cool wind blowing

through,

with the chill biting into,

bark skin with goosebumps

they're talking to---

 

the kinds of things that listen, too

 

like birds chirping and people caring

tall trees hearing, feeling-

 

Another day, to come.

    Nice write. You , I’m sure, have reasons or a plan to leave the rancor and regret that seeps through through the slight tilt of phrase , ie; “ chill biting into bark skin” or maybe I’ve overloaded on motive and your rally is against indifference ? I hope there is a sequel that notarizes.
