And now a return to calmer waters, as well as a return to something I haven't posted for a while. Enjoy.
I see shaggy cypress, hard-hided oak,
Smooth-skinned maple, silver or red,
With timid poplar resting in between.
Leaves folded over one-by-one,
Laying like coats of emerald armor,
Rattling their scales and sabres
As the wind winds through them
Like threaded needle through a cloth.
The fabric of forestry, woven tightly together
By the unseen force and feeling
Of the wind.

Lovely.
