Trees & Shattered Dreams

 I wonder if the trees perceive shattered dreams

hoping for growth, seeds were planted long ago
thirsty for a drink where are the flowing streams

roots digging deep, the weather has gone extreme
in a changing landscape, will we have a place to grow
I wonder if the trees perceive shattered dreams

the mighty axe of progress, makes the earth scream
today,  the ground is blanketed with white snow

thirsty for a drink, where are the flowing streams

who will lead us into the land of the redeemed
will the future be kind and ease our earthy woes
I wonder if the trees perceive shattered dreams

through barren limbs, dancing moonbeams
sign language of nature, is something I know

thirsty for a drink, where are the flowing streams

perhaps, tomorrow isn't as bad as it seems
somewhere, a poet is communing with Poe
I wonder if the trees perceive shattered dreams
thirsty for a drink, where are the flowing streams

written for earthweal

Thank you for reading

it's a snowy day here
