Between Gemini and Leo

When no one listens,
I talk to the ancient tree --
prune diseased branches,
let water run deeply.
Wasted effort.
Within days,
green leaves are tipped brown,
down one branch then another.

Beneath constellations,
the tree whispers

come at night
when all trees are black.
Then you will understand.


I cannot listen.
In the morning,
I climb withered limbs
with shears in hand
and whittle away;

in my own way,
a malignancy.

Very interesting read, indeed.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
