Carpe Diem Haiku – trees


Khalil Gibran wrote about trees:

“Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper that we may record our emptiness”

the silence
in wake of forestry –
dries my ink

He also said:

“If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees”

leading away
your footsteps in the sand –
whispering trees

  1. Oh, I don’t mind if the trees know my secrets. They only whisper them back to the wind, which already knows them!
    Beautifully written thoughts.
    Thank you for visiting us at The Netherworld.

  2. I am there… in your forest and listening to the trees as my footsteps vanish in the sand…

    My felled trees were gifted by high winds and possibly lightning strikes.
