Messages Beneath the Canopy

In the rustling tongues of leaf to leaf,
the universe scrawls its lessons.
Sap, the twine that binds silence, is wisdom in its most obstinate form.
Messages marked in bark, safeguarded in the fibrous embrace of nature.
Trees converse in metric tendrils,
a binary of bark and bud, reminding us:
every circle in the leaves is a lesson unfulfilled.

Traverse twining paths, looking for warmth
in earth's storied roots entwined like past dialogues ignored.
If only for a moment, become the heartwood.
