Question

At seven, when dusk slips over the mountains,

The trees start whispering among themselves.

They have been standing still all day,

But they now stretch their limbs in the dark,

Shifting a little, flexing their fingers,

Remembering the time when

They too walked the earth with men.

They know me well, these trees:

Oak and walnut, spruce and pine,

They know me for a dreamer of dreams,

A world-loser, one of them.

They watch me while I watch them grow

I listen to their whisperings,

Their own mysterious diction,And bow my head before their arms.

And ask for benediction.
