Mystery and History

_____________________________________

Embrace trees

enchanted

Benign memories

Tangled in branches and

Spanish moss

Awareness permeates

Consciousness

Compels awakening from

Idyllic daydreaming to haunted

Relationship to

Woods

And

Roots

(A found poem inspired by “What Hangs on Trees” by Glenis Redmond and a trip to see the angel oak on John’s Island in South Carolina)
