Trees
you weep today
for the passing of a friend
ancient and loyal
it stood
for what might have been
forever
cheered your birth from the soil
sheltered you from wind
and sun
then held you
let go at just the right
time
as you learned to walk
through the pages of our thoughts
and experiences
explored the process
of becoming the
thing that screams
nature
the loudest
as fodder for our poems
Long after this rain
you will weep
for the great space
left open by its passing
the vines that embraced it
lost now along the fence
frightened clinging
wondering what happened
and why they weren't told
of the sentence imposed
on their innocent
