Ode to Trees

Looking out, the little tree saw them,
Standing proud and tall,
Bathed in the light of a setting sun.

Oh! to stand in such a way,
Tall and straight and wild,
With moss and owl and squirrel as ornament.
Looking in, they saw the little tree,
Standing sweet and pure,
Resplendant in memories and lights.

Oh! to stand in such a way,
Small and bright and true,
With glass and tin and love as ornament.
Looking on, she saw them all,
Standing in such different ways,
Bathed in light and memories.

Together, reflecting each other,
A forest spanning glass,
Different, the same, ornaments of her story.
