Grey green oak
Straight trunked and smaller
Than stands were before third cut logging
Here on hillsides just above the place
Where River decided in lazy frustration
To bend rather than move limestone feet
Planted in an ancient sea but grown
From fires deep within the bowels
Of Mother.

No easy climb from gravel bar
But this copse of trees, hanging, it seems
Over the very air below as they lean out,
As if trying to touch a lover with fingered limbs
Is a cool place to sit
Perhaps lie locked in tangles of legs and arms
Knowing no one will see or share
Pinking places not accustomed to sun
Displayed in lusty rites of desire

The climb down is no easier
But knowing the end of day will wrap you
Again around my soul makes even split shale twistings
Seem but an afternoon stroll

It's grey green oak...that no longer
Is a virgin stand

But then again
Neither are we

Ron

Beautiful imagery, and heart warming feel to this place and the intimate meaning you reveal. Quite a sigh here in this room of me.

You are deceptively clever in taking one to the forest to find images that would blush Mother Nature...

and might I add? You did it very, very well....
