Trees

Coarse, hard, magnificent diverse

Standing in the breeze 

Beautiful leaves, luxurious and green 

Interweave like bees 

Bringing homes together

Puts you to your knees 

Resilient as a soldier

Tenacious trees

Chainsaws bulldozers scary men

Burning, smoke, horrid dreams

But they will never back down

They all in union scream 

Droughts, floods, typhoons 

They will persist as one 

Seasons change, freezing cold 

They will stand there, never done 

As others die around them

They are the last alive

Enduring  torture as they grow 

And yet they still survive
