Once Upon A Hill
A tiny tree Upon a hill
-grows steadily
Her strength bigger with each ring anew
In those rings – the scars of winds
-and visitors making their homes
When her leaves fall away
-and the nests lay empty
As winters wax and wain
She grows more beautiful than the year before
She grows them back again
The story of her life lay within that beauty
-and it sings like spring
Though something different this time
Something just right there!
Its Marks and scars
In similar fashion, standing in its beauty
It stands upon that very same hill
As though it grew there too
And on this sunset the shadow they cast
Looks like love
Those two trees upon a hill
