Silent Masters
Tall, thin, sparse
Jack Pines straining, attaining
Spindly heights
Crackling dry and spaced like dominoes
Arranged by a petulant child
Red needles acrid and desiccated tumble
On imperceptible expirations of August
The wood of the Pine
Is it the true medium?
North and South a million miles of matchstick sentinels
East and West an eternity of needles, sap and peeling, scaly bark
The hills are less compelling than the trees
The timber is the thing

Stop
Just stop
Listen
Listen to the traffic on the road
Listen to the traffic in your head
It goes nowhere
Nowhere at all
The traffic comes faster than it goes
Roaring past

Listen to the voice in the trees
Listen to the quiet voice in the heart
It goes home
Home, where you belong
It will come as fast as you let it
Rushing in
To be embraced
Allow it...
