if trees could speak
what would this one say?
would he say "go away"
or ask me to play?
would he tell me stories
of all that he's seen
or tell me the dreams
he wished could have been
if trees could scream
do you imagine they'd cry
as you tore off their limbs
and watched them slowly die?
if.
if trees could speak.
if only.

Wonderful thoughts indeed.

For some reason this poem reminded me of the scene in the Wizard of Oz where the trees got pissed off at Dorothy for picking their apples. While trees don't speak as we do in a literal sense I have always gotten the impression that they are full of wisdom and able to communicate. Nice poem. Thank you for entering.
