                       Trees

I am looking at the trees, they may be

one of the things I willmiss most from

the earth, though many of the ones

that Ihave seen,already I cannot

remember and though I seldom

embrace the ones I see and have never

been able to speakwith one, I listen

to them tenderly, their names have

nevertouched them, they have stood

round my sleep and when it was

forbidden to climb them they have

carried me in their branches

                            James Wright

 

 

The worship of treesis one of the earliest forms of religion.

Trees are sacred to various cultures and represent life

and immortality. Inthe past and present, trees represent unity

with all thingsbecause their branches reached towards the

heavens and their rootsreach, unseen into the ground. They

represent the connectednessbetween the earth and

the heavens.
