Branch and foliage <br />Bend unto the loading strain <br />Of that cleansing quenching serenade <br />Soaked into bark and on leaf blade, <br />Tracing limbs open and reaching <br />Caressing the trunk taut and beseeching <br />Into the earth where firmly grounded <br />The awaiting seeds are realized or founded, <br />Each mighty crown lowers conceding passionately <br />In tribute to praise so great a majesty <br />By whose light and soft moist breath <br />Love is sustained as life itself. <br /> <br /> <br />(21/2/2005)<br /><br />Danny Draper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-trees-bow-down-after-rain/
