Beauty Lost Where once trees stood tall, stalwart guardians of rolling hills, Canopies of green hid tea parties and play house tables And little boys, with bow and arrow branches, climbed to the sky Where once trees stood tall, sentries to grasses which concealed lovers Only an occasional whispered giggle disturbed nesting swallows And secrets were delighted in before first innocence was shared Where once trees stood tall, constant centennials ever nurturing Wind created a duet as it buffeted against beckoning limbs And a haunting song filled woodland groves with eerie melodies Where once trees stood tall, scarred remnants became testimonials Of stories soon forgotten, of songs, with no words, left unsung Memories flew with ashes into the wind, leaving only silence in their wake. … Alison |

Where once trees stood tall, constant centennials ever nurturing Wind created a duet as it buffeted against beckoning limbs And a haunting song filled woodland groves with eerie melodies...

"Only an occasional whispered giggle disturbed nesting swallows" Sigh, those are the giggles we hope will stay with us forever. |

interesting ‘write’!: I REALLY like: “trees (as)...stalwart guardians of rolling hills” And: “ haunting song(s) fill(ing) woodland groves...” as well as: “Memories (as) ...ashes in...the wind leaving only silence in their wake.” applause!! |
