Image for the poem The Tree

The Tree's Knees

The trees are not strangers
they weather the storms
watching over the majesty

in shadows of the inglenook
and are the fingers of God
home to the little church mouse

sleeping under the mushroom caps
wearing winter earflaps
and little snowshoes

keeping hymnals and prayer books
that sit on the tree's knees
counting the rosary beads
