The season is ruled by trees
Only weeks ago their bare branches
were impediments to the views beyond them
Now their lush leaves invade the parks
and walkways and lakeside paths
completing our view of the landscape
We hear the birds hidden in their branches
and the countless leaves brushing against each other
ShShShShSh
They fill our senses
they green our lives
And the great oaks
are sentinels of strength and wisdom
