"Trees Grow Just So"

The grass is arching and laying
Where the abundance of morning will lye
Heavy with words that did follow the cursive curve
Of a woman and an evermore reply

Hickory did take root
Keeping this meadow within the layers of her dress
She tried to bury a certain touch beneath this beauty
But grew there a stronger caress

Blushes of cheeks and hearts simply gone to pasture
Details of days glowed in abundance when she was alone
Sanity dissipated as if the thriving grass drew it in to its length
Beautiful, lovely, an abandoned home overgrown

Notches in the door frames
A testament of time and life
Splayed books of happier tails
Cloth covers and pages made man and wife

Trees grow just so….
To form paths of light in which to lay
Warm places in the hours of beginning
Waiting for the sound of strings devotion to hold sway

I took this capture in Gnome meadow....the same place where I collected the branches that became the sanded round pieces inside of the 11x14 pine shadow box. Inside is the 4x6 mounted metallic capture "Trees Grow Just So" surrounded in white oak beveled curves. It is mounted on a oval piece of Walnut, also from Gnome Meadow:) It is ready to hang with a gold sawtooth on the back:)
