Dendrological Love Lore

Out in a forest with no ends in sight,
their drama played out in the day and the night.
Standing together at edge of a clearing
enmeshed branches rubbing and creaking endearing.

Love in the forest occurs without fanfare
from seedling to sapling as long as the sun’s there.
Once grown up so tall, buoying leaf canopies,
shading below where no flying bird sees.

Silently smiling when spring brings their greening.
Breezes of summer cause rustlings with meaning.
Colors of Fall show such deep passions burning.
While naked in winter, love grows from new yearning.

Thus have the forests held secrets primeval,
begun when the first trees supplanted upheaval.
Steady and strong in the precious complexion
Quietly loving with nature’s affection.
