“Sea of Trees”
© 2019 by Michael L. Utley
To slake my thirst
With dew from leaves that never see the light
Arboreal the tears that fall and quench
The darkest dreams
To fill my bowels
With loam whose cloying scent bespeaks of death
Arboreal the taste of living earth
My hunger begs
To see the gleam
‘Neath tenebrous shadows and rayless groves
Arboreal the blackest night in day
Below the boughs
To run rough hands
O’er scabrous bark and hardened boles and moss
Arboreal the pillars scrape the sky
In breezes weep
The silence holds
Forbidden knowledge
The silence holds
The universe
The silence holds
The truth…
