Every Tree Sings
An Acrostic Sonnet
Every tree sings to the Sun for more rain
Varnishing its crown with the greenest leaves
Each tree also prays to Light for less pain
Remembering the friends cut down by thieves
Yesterday’s lands were blanketed by trees
Today’s grounds are covered by wasting tar
Rooting for tomorrow’s soils on our knees
Every one of us cannot see too far
Each life needs a tree growing high and wide
Sending its song and prayer to the sky
In the end all surface life would have died
Nursing all expectations with a sigh
Give trees the respect both deserved and owed
Surprise yourself with tree of life bestowed
-----
Dedicated to every tree lover and tree.
