we are serious the trees insist
this morning crowding to the lake's edge
some knee-deep in the cold
clearness and clarity they continue
is the important thing and the lake agrees
to the point of awe a shiver of respect
in the far corner of my eye
a canoe sliding a black silhouette
across the silence the only sense of sound
paddles engulfed in their task and behind
a loon bobbing quizzical on the wake
hush those trees thinking we are serene
and steady and besides we demand
attention words are not enough
to describe our stand and i
don't understand the trees today
or the clouds filing past in morning's grasp
cool distant airiness
seeing the lake see them considering
their shapes changing then to reconsider
holding their breath we are serious
all of us and serene some echo
and as the sun decides wrinkles
on the surface and ruffles the loon somewhere
in back of the forest in the clearing
voice of the meadow grass
leans back and forth to laugh and i
recognize the feeling and describe
the trees as trees
and the grass as grass
