Trees with dark green leaves

Pock-mark the urban landscape

Like beauteous sores.  Oases

In an otherwise unblemished bleakness

Out of place in their naturalness

Rooted in the brown earth

Amid the artificially stunted grass

With an innocent hedge there misplaced.

Trees casting their shadow

Providing shade from the sunlight

That gives them their strength and colour

Cars bumper to bumper

Gridlock

Trucks, buses, coaches

Idling

Engine noises,

Reverbs.

People walking

Cell phones to ears

Hand in hand

Close together,

Plotting.

Women chatting

Buddies hugging

The traffic moves

Relief – freedom

Like a dam burst

Open

All travelling

Going in the same direction.

My only aim - my love for you

Single till I sang your song

Wed while we were still so youn...

If I die before tomorrow

Though the sun won't shine for me

Take pleasure in it's warming glow

There's a future there to see

No life will last forever

The sun will one day fail

But not before we've all passed on

So who will hear the tale

A tree falls in a forest

A whale dies in the sea

What happens to the birds nest

Do the krill sigh with relief
