Voices of the Forest / Voix de la fort / Las voces del Bosque / Stimmen des Walds - an art work by T Newfields

Voices of the Forest


Pine Cones
have secret wisdom

Caterpillars
have surprising things to say

Chantrelles
surpass all expectation

Raspberries
offer pungent parleys

Heathers
show us much about rootedness

Oak trees
teach us how to be deep

Too bad
so few humans listen:

we'd be much wiser
by learning how
forests speak
