A TREE SPEAKS

I do have eyes
that ringeth forth
the inmost truth
I just can't hide
but funny, yes,
men hear me not
they play riddles
of numb replies

a tree was born
never to hear
the agonies
of pained abuse
but funny, yes,
trees never bore
perhaps, because
they listen more

I do blame not
the if's and why's
for ungrown men
are just like that
but funny, yes,
the leafy crown
absorbs the truth
from night till dawn
