Trees


Monolith pillars
Stand guard in green and red
Silent as their ghosts


Foot falls of ancients
Buried deep in stone and sand
Echo longing prayer


Immortal the winds
Breathing calm to wing and game
All at rest of fear


Rare to brushing hand
An agora set to wild
Fed to fortunes few


Boundary a covet
Kept by souls of dead and one
They who paid in deed


Spring from high water
Mother come in peace renew
Witness in the trees
