Position:Home>Poetry> Can you hear the Wood speaking to you?

The wood has many voices and no man,
Not even a companion hears the same voice!.
Man cannot know her unless he understands
Her!. Trees speak as we walk beneath their
Leafy canopy, yet who is there that understands
The language with they speak!. Who is there
That can hear the sap rise within the trunk
Of the oak or the beech, when the beat of
Our their own heart drowns out that which
Would be more pleasing to the ear!.
Having the time to stand and think yourself
As part of the wood is one of life's sweetest
Luxuries!. Yet it asks no question and gives
No answers, it will accommodate us but
Can just as easily do without us!. Does the
Mountain keep that which we throw at it
In voice, no, it throws it right back seven
Fold!. It does not need us to speak but to
Listen, and to listen again to catch the sound
Of its breathing for the mountain is alive as
Is the wood!. Nature can be like an ocean,
Monotonous only to the ignorant!. In the end
We conserve only what we love!. We will
Love only what we understand, and understand
Only that what the woods, the mountains, rivers,
Fields teach us, even a blade of grass if only
We use the power of our brain!.
