🌳 If Trees Could Talk 🌳
Would we listen?
If forests could sing
would we stop to hear
their acoustic alchemy
of overstory folk songs
in connective unity
from wise woodlands trees
Songs sung in harmony
While birds, bugs, and mammals
blend symphonic sounds
into old growth rhapsodies
shared amongst our forest trees.
Please walk with me
To a place where
The Forest Sings
and help make forests
a part of your overstory
Perhaps if we’d stop to listen
We’d learn to live in harmony?
Poem inspired by the Novel
“The Overstory” by Richard Powers
