To the apple trees
how caressive
she held within her outstretched arms
trembling goblets purified golden
while gently braiding comfort
through fallen light
oh beloved beheaded
mother tree
you who were banished
from this space
called sacred
under your crown lay
graves of love
your roots now
suffer sulfur
here we gather
when earth
returns
your fingerprints
clarity opens
your story
has begun
again

Author's Note
dedicated to the apple trees of the former garden\former place I lived who were all taken down by the new owners only because they made a road to drive up to their house, rather asphalt than trees it seems. In honor of the nature spirits.

I've gotten to where I just don't even want to know about any real estate "development".
So much of the time it just seems like a crime scene.

You did a good job of encompassing various points of "global" connectivity, in such "disposed" criteria. Observation, definition, attention-span, emotion, depth perception, imagination, and general human spirit, in relation to nature, all neat, tidy, and concise. Great theme, direction, transition, overall presentation. It is kind of sad how mankind just rapes the earth and throws it all out of whack in its cycles. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
