Saturday Poem:

The Trees are Smiling

Maria Mar

The trees are smiling

with the resplendent

smile of bright green joy.

They smile because

they have been kissed

by the rain.

They have been caressed

by the sun.

They have been breastfed by Earth

and last night, a full moon romanced them until they tingled.

As I drink their luminous green

I too smile;

I’m been kissed by God’s green lips.
