Trees Don’t Lie
Trees don’t lie
there is an expectation
of the dawn
and tomorrow
will be different
and yesterday too
if you let it
A backward story
makes your beginning
possible
characters out of tune
can sing a lovely
song
if you listen
A solitary hill
is not a lonely place
if it what it shows you
brings you closer
to the truth
and
you can see it
Time cannot own you
nor waste your dreams
if you travel between
the minutes
above the hours
then
it is yours

It might be me, but I think it’s more you.
I think Sarah has changed, has grown.
The imagery seems more colourful
The emotions more subtle, hinting at a hidden passion.
As I said, it might be me, but I think it’s more you.
Either way.
I’m loving what you are creating.
And special thanks for the ‘tree’ theme,you know how I feel about them.
hi again spaz,
i knew you would love the tree theme - the first line came to me while i was away and i’d been trying to find it a home ever since - then i did. thanks dear, for the ever so nice comments.
yes, i think i have changed - lots of things - lots of reasons - the result i think is good though and it seems so do you.

“Time can not own you, or waste your dreams”,
excellent thought. I enjoyed the tone of this
poem, the gentle wisdom.
hi cynthia - thank you - for calling it wisdom.
