A Tree In Winter

Winter's grasp is on my spine, its will upon my wings.

Icy winds and rain-soaked boughs,

In lament, my swaying sprigs.

Coniferous giant but am I, at home in forest land.

I stand alone, majestic still,

While nature washes 'or.

My life is but of service,

Admire me while you can.

Reminds me of Orson Scott Card's "Speaker for the Dead". The trees are 'enlightened beings'.

I don't profess to be a poet, so this was just 'off the cuff'. We were having a wind storm blowing through the area today and I was watching a very tall douglas fir doing this gyrating dance in the rain. I have always thought of trees as "Ents" since reading the Hobbit series in the 1970's. Thank you both for commenting.
