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
Hear the author read this poem.
