The Paths of Trees

I strode along
Down a corridor of wood
I barked about the leafy road
I glimpsed a species of fig
Strangling in the coolness
Of this natural arch
By which limbs entwined in
A twisted canopy
One patchy
One that would allow them To breathe

How deep do your paths grow
You eternal anchors
Guardians of green
Monuments of life

Knots

Today I just happened to look through some old messages and quite frankly it made me happy to be in the present at the same time I had a true sense of how much it had all changed. Boy we forget things fast dont we? But it's more the experience of things we forget and the details. Anyway folks here is Knots my first effort of August.

Knots

Whats lost ought not be found
Messages best forgot and drowned

Twines of words and rhymes
Strings and lives forever intwined

Strings pulled taught
Strings too thin
Rope burn
Torn skin

Frayed ends

How cruel the uncoiling, the unravelling
the falling away of burden and balance
The drop so certain so sincere
The pitfalls and the avalanches

Bonds broken and lost
The frail coils of memory
The news knots we tie
The loops and the noose we
Forge
And how meticulous we forge
To tie loose threads
with varying lengths
From the threads we accumulate
To weave a crooked rope
To spin a life
To endure
