aspens

In the aspens       I can hear them breathe Sighing within the lightest breeze Shimmering a dance Amongst the trees   We are one   I stand still and tremble They speak within the slightest air Whispers in the silence Quaking a message of love and care   We are one   Their strength resounds upon the hill The tiniest touch upon the white bark Can shine with purity and the hope A brilliance of strength it does empart   We are one     Rising from the depths of dark First From ashes do they reach With the will and strength of the phoenix They move to grow, and darkness breach!     Oh mother earth,  They softly sound We are one We  all abound   Blessed be this lonesome start Rising from the centuries old Their breathe I hear  It's message is bold!    We are one     As I stand, and grow to be Thank you, mother,for allowing me to see I have come to stand amongst these trees  Oh blessed be, for I can hear them breathe!   We are one      Original poetry By Janey McKeever January 2009
