I see my mind as a tapestry woven through with memories, dreams and thoughts.

The Music in the Trees

This post is dedicated to Melissa and her trees; also to Jamie, who many years ago, put my poem to music.





The Music in the Trees

There is a music in the trees
that lilts the air and,
sensitive to much,
their boughs bend down
to listen to the ground.

The ground is warm.
The ground is dark,
but often ill at ease with
the burdens of the company;
and then it gladly listens
to the music in the trees.

Beautiful. This has a Tolkein feel to it.

Maybe. I hadn't thought of that.

Aguja! Or shall I say, Ann! You have captured two of the things I love most in the world: music and trees. I am printing this and keeping it. Thanks. xo

This is indeed lovely, the magical words and the ethereal painting combine to create such beauty.

Thank you all for making my day!
And it is a photograph that I created, rather then a painting.
