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.

    Beautiful idea. I don't like "the rest" and I imagine birds are flying words...

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

    But we can try...
