The Trees Are Talking So Loudly Today
The forest has risen from its hush,
boughs uncloaking throats of bark,
each leaf a syllable, each branch a stanza—
the wind a restless reader turning pages
in a book that never closes.
They speak in rust‑colored cadences,
a chorus of sap‑scented stories,
the ancient oak reciting the rain‑songs of centuries,
the birch whispering the sharp laughter of frost,
while the pine shouts the low‑hum of midnight fire.
Their voices braid together,
a tapestry woven from creak and quiver:
“Remember the sun‑kissed mornings,”
the elm sighs, “and the shadows that learned to dance.”
A trembling maple answers with a tremolo of leaves,
as if the forest itself were a harp struck by a storm.
I stand among them, a quiet listener,
my ears pressed to the damp earth,
the murmuring chorus swelling—
a dialogue that spills into the sky,
echoing in the clouds, reverberating in the river’s sigh.
When the day folds into twilight, the dialogue softens,
but the words remain, etched into the bark,
a reminder that the world never truly goes silent—
only the hearing heart learns to listen
to the loud, tender talk of trees.

Nature speaks a different language and as this poem remarks its language is not words but senses we may not comprehend. Nicely worded in this poem its messages are musical and vibrate in all senses. Nicely done
Thanks.Sorenbarrett

Friendship, this poem honors listening as an act of love. You let the natural world speak in its own cadence, and you stand with it rather than over it. The result feels generous, musical, and grounded in wonder. Truly lovely work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
