Trees of yesterday today.

 

The tree hid the large carnivore talons beneath its branch

Holding on tight brain to claw peering about the canopy 

Balancing its statuette same feather folded wings

The little cries coming from on high varying 

The sharp of the cries from branch to tree to tree

Grasping the sheath which held the shining blade

Therein its port belonging, holster, to the challenge 

That came about with the history of the forest thick trees

And break in the green to sunlight pouring down 

Through the sky in the forest break to streams and seas

The tree which grew and grew into the sky kept true

The forest wide and about where bears deer wolves and cats

Ate scratched and climbed the great standing forest

The visitations of others marked their visit to the trees

Calling aloud and so spoke and echoed by the depth

The distance in the trees forest caves and hills

Leaving his footprints in the soft earth and fingerprints 

In time a road was begun and the forest grew and regrew 

With branch and leaf on the wayside breaking darkness

Nests which ruled the day and held to the night tree to tree

Where now the caves draw notice written on the dark walls

Gathered and widen to where the family and food were shared

The first classroom walls were etched in the language of the hunt

Where the hunt and hand with planning ended the great hunger

In the fields at trees ends those sketches on stone reveal

The learning tool to communicate from cave to grave

Where man and beast challenge each other to survive

You cannot fly man think from the cave but outside the box

The wheel and beyond the caves window beyond the seas

Now as is watched the bread basket for all to share

The birds that migrate find and rebuild old and new nests

But still against the seasons creatures try to survive

The coming sky’s and cold sleeping trees in winters hold

A long way through the forest and from the caves to

The great cities and standings of Rome in the midst 

The earliest center of human habitat never forgot

The soul behind the stone and from the cave wrote

The history some say about the creatures from space

None the best true or false only the earliest trees surprisingly 

Continue in some magnificent show their leafs breathing life

Their fruit the joy more than likely shared tree to hand, Adam and Eve

No tree no hand no sword the protector 

The stones story the trees upheld their part.
