Planet Tree

The trees
Began waving at each other
Aided by a quickening breeze
Beneath the earthen ground
Hands were held
Connecting
Communicating
Without prejudice
Peaceful
Unbiased
Non-judgemental
Whether sapling
Or mother tree
Silver Birch, Oak, Yew Beech
Cherry Blossom, Apple, Pear, Plum
Weeping Willow, Walnut, Acacia
All revelled
In each others beauty
And individualism
No matter what creed
Or breed
One fine day
This wood wide web
Decide
To up their roots
And depart
Guided by the stars
Lift off
From planet Earth
To venture to pastures new
Simply to escape
The razor teeth
And those that used them
