POETREE

If I could,
I would
write
poetree,
plain black
lines scrawled
against the azure sky.

No matter what the
season,
poetree need not
have a reason to
be other than
its vital urging to
stand tall
and call all to see
its full breathtaking
shape.

No paper wasted
(ah, trees saved)
Nor ink.
I think today
I am
satisfied that
I saw this sprawling bit
of God's beauty
and I knew enough
to bow down to it, and
be done speaking.
