The Circle of Trees
The circle of tree tops, wintered, gnarled whispy
A thorny wreath, against a gray sky
Waves rhythmically, then spasmodically
Inviting without emotion
The circle is a moment, the here, the now
For me a stillness, a respite
A vision without time, without pain
Existing, present and free from thought
But its peace holds only an instant
The past with its shame, the future with its terror
Gush into the fold
The circle of trees loses its spell
The tireless words of the mind come with fits and starts
And Longfellow repeats himself endlessly to me
“A boy’s will is the wind’s will
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts”
