Cellular Memory

Cellular Memory

Private Collection. Giclees available upon request.

Remembering

I remember standing tall.
Birds singing 
nestled in my limbs.
Rush of wind through
my glorious green tresses.

I remember the day 
I was downed
milled planks
dead wood
Dwelling for those who downed.

Birds no longer flock to me.
Their song
a distant melody.
The wind 
pushes passed me.

No one knows me.
A tree, I will always be.
Nature’s partner
same meadow. 
A tree, I will always be.

– Shelley Lowell
