New or old, each treedance is a lesson told.The treedance has been initiated.Father of the wind begins his ancient ode to the trees.They begin to sing, more like a whisper, a dance for all the curious onlookers.The earth song also begins as the wind runs through the forest like a madman running from the asylum." Look, another tree has fallen to the ground it's leaves adorn."The treedance is not happy as I thought, this dance carries a heavy heart, a dance of mourn.Trees old and new do the treedance, unlearned but constantly the same. Will they do this dance forever or until they become the paper I write on?it seems something always has to die, so that something else can live...;-)Good write!I really like this, particularly the comparison of the earth song to a madman running. Let's hope those trees will live to dance again with joy when we learn to live in harmony with the earth. Nice poem!
