Can Trees Cry? Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Can Trees Cry?

Rating: 5.0


Trees on top of the hill
had been chopped down
except for one,
a big old oak.
When I walked under it
large drops fell,
I grant you
It had been raining
but that was hours ago.
Big tears,
in each one of them
I saw
a picture of fallen trees.

Poignant and emotive, laced with the fibres of simple natural beauty.

I am sure if trees could cry, then they would, as man continues to destroy his environment. Good one Oskar.
