      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Inspired by Nature</em> series #4<br/>

I can hear you cry<br/>
Underneath your bark<br/>
My heart ripped out<br/>
As they pull your roots</p>

<p>In the gusts of wind<br/>
As you breathe new life<br/>
The whispers of grief<br/>
For your fallen ones</p>

<p>When the last one drops<br/>
I will go with you<br/>
And in one last breath<br/>
We will bow and sing</p>

<p>It was beautiful<br/>
 <br/>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>From the Dark Corners</em> series #11<br/>

 <br/>
Cloister, a tree<br/>
Singing to the Gods<br/>
Retired from the world</p>

<p>Dancing, lonely<br/>
My skin against yours<br/>
Deeply you touch my soul</p>

<p>Looking, through your eyes<br/>
I see the other side<br/>
And instantly all makes sense<br/>
 <br/>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>From the Dark Corners</em> series #10<br/>

 <br/>
Reminiscence of a far away storm<br/>
A tree has reached the shore<br/>
Its bark carrying antique history<br/>
In its roots entangled memories</p>

<p>On this shore, a sandcastle waits to be<br/>
Gifted back to the sea<br/>
Each grain carrying traces of laughter<br/>
From the high waves singing to the tree</p>

<p>Souvenir of something I cannot grasp<br/>
A horn in the distance<br/>
Echo of my heart on a foggy day<br/>
Drifting away reclaimed by the sea<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>

<br/>
 <br/>
Across the path<br/>
A fallen tree<br/>
Or is it a branch</p>

<p>Looking up around<br/>
Stride to a halt<br/>
Where from I ask</p>

<p>No visible stump<br/>
No visible wound<br/>
No recent storm<br/>
No known reason</p>

<p>And if you listen<br/>
You can hear the breath<br/>
Of the forest, still<br/>
Living through death<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
