Dream of Trees
This poem is potential,
folded into words
Let me plant a seed for you
a seed buried in a poem.
Let this seed dream of trees
Know an oak
grows from an acorn,
but also know a seed has no name,
for it might never become.
But what if it
does?
What if the sun brushes its edge?
What if our
intentions push out
buds like shy thoughts?
What if the skies
listen
and breathe a quiet rain?
The wonders we carry
might become not only trees
but a whole forest.
Yes, given the right nurturing seeds can indeed become a mighty forest.

Wow! Much can grow from a seed of a tree planted in a poem. This poem is wonderful!
Aplaudiundo daqui,Marja!
ReplyDeleteQue bom se as sementes todas pudessem sonhar em belas e frondosas árvores poder se tornar e, quem sabe, em florestas se transformar!
Adorei! beijos, chica
"Let this seed dream of trees." How I love that! And your closing lines are inspiring! Just beautiful, Marja.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful ‘ dreams of trees’ From a seed perhaps a forest will grow. May it be so.Truedessa
ReplyDeleteI was drawn to the same lines that Susan was drawn to. I love the idea of buds pushing out shy thoughts. If a seed is planted in a poem, who knows what can grow. Lovely writing, Marja.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Marja.
ReplyDelete"What if our intentions push out
ReplyDeletebuds like shy thoughts?" Love this so much especially for its quiet power; very cautious as it were, not intended to outshine others or exert authority. Beautiful, Marja.
Oh how tall we can grow and leaf if we just reach for it....beautiful
ReplyDeleteOne must hope for these things. And keep hoping.
ReplyDeleteThe wonders we carry
ReplyDeletemight become not only trees
but a whole forest. - Wonder will happen and the tribe will grow one day...
This is beautiful--dreams of trees indeed.
ReplyDeleteFrom a single seed, a forest of hope may rise.
May it flourish.
