Love
Tall trees
Reaching ever upward
tilting forward
Shedding leaves like a
winter jacket
Naked bare, then blooms
bursting
Bend and creak
The lifting breeze sways
you so
Nesting birds, crawling
ants, a squirrel hides chattering chattering
Splendid form with roughened
skin where bodies lean
Ancient roots and layers
of years
Your life force calling
Calling out to me
Anti-Love
Raging fire
Scorches through the
forest
Shaking canopy
Knocking large timbers to
their knees
Exposed roots
Charcoal trunks
Leaving a desolate
wasteland
Carpet of dark black soot
carves a path through the distance
Timbers
Shrubs
Birch and pine
Needles splayed in dying
embers
Ancient legacy of primeval
story
Smoldering stillness
envelopes the woods
Pause
Breath
Dripping sap
Sprouting green
Singing lark
Life force calling
Calling out to me
