The Earth Writes

“Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky”
Kahlil Gibran 1887-1931

That sounds lovely but the rest of the quote is
“We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.”
Oh well, …context.

  7. I do like 'the rest' actually - mankind can never measure up to the poetry of the earth.

    But we can try...
