Two saplings planted
in September mist
beneath an Autumn sky.

As seasons changed
from year to year,
and winds bent boughs
as lightening brightened
summer skies,
so through heat of day
and storms of night,
roots dug deep in soils
fertile with their fallen leaves.

on and on they grew

Haven green for songbirds
singing ever true to Spring
deeper, deeper roots they grew
as leafy branches kissed the sky.

As fullest beauty grown
through storm and strife
and sweetest summer days,
roots were intertwined.

For love grown deep
is what shall remain.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
