Today I went for a walk <br />In the forest with the trees <br />I didn't need to talk, the <br />Trees they talked to me <br /> <br />They had much to tell me <br />All winter they'd been alone <br />And they chattered like chipmunks <br />Now that winter had gone <br /> <br />They told me about new life flowing <br />Through their trunks with the sap <br />And in their joy, believe me, I <br />Swear their limbs they clapped <br /> <br />They gloried in the warmth of <br />The heat in the spring sun <br />And rejoiced with the animals <br />In their branches having fun <br /> <br />The birds came back also, making <br />Their homes with the trees <br />They flitted and sang their joyous <br />Songs, bringing joy to the trees an me <br /> <br />So much they had to tell me <br />I lost track of time <br />I told them I had to go and <br />Would come another time <br /> <br />I walked out of the forest <br />Bidding adieu to the trees <br />Thanking them for the comfort <br />They had freely given me <br /> <br />And so I say to all of you <br />If you feel you have to flee <br />This world of noise and mayhem <br />Go visit with the trees<br /><br />Walter Lane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-trees-3/
