New trees

justam

I'm planting some small evergreens
in the backyard
these will be the first part
of the new forest
while it's plain lawn and oak trees now
it could be stuffed with life
not just squirrels
and fighting cats
and nesting birds
I want a forest instead

that's really beautiful, justam.

It reminded me of a saying on a t-shirt I have---one of those "this T plants a tree t-shirts":

"The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn."~~~Ralph Waldo Emerson
