trees in spring

The trees this spring decided to do
something unusual, uplifting but true
they gathered their sprits and took a deep breath
then lifted their branches up in clean air
and flapped them, and and shook them and gave a sharp cry
till the roots floated above the ground and they were ready to fly.

They flew over the fields early one morning
they visited cities, and villages in the county
then headed together towards the mountains
to see their relfections in a a lake who frozen in wonder
at the sight of trees floating above him tried to hid under
the shadow of the cloud. Then they turned back and replanted themselves.
