It's Not About Me

Talking is all they ever do

To listen is to hear

The trees and their leaves

Talking, talking

Time after time

They think I don’t know

Their tiny little whispers

Talking, talking

Then when they see me

Through the tall grass

The trees and their leaves stop

Talking, talking

This is the end but

The end is the beginning

The trees and the leaves

Talking, talking

Morgan Yai,
"It's not about Me" was a true word that says life is real whether I understand or not. Nature's voice is speaking and we can enjoy it. Life's chaos against the back drop of your trees and leaves talking, talking withing nature's reality was a inspiration to this heart. Blessings in your life and writing...........Kathy

I love this poem. I love nature and trees talking is a concept I have used in my poetry. This reached me. It has a humorous undertone, but also one of quiet awe for nature. I especially enjoy the interplay between the speaker and the trees and the "talking about me" concern as a way to play on the way they so quietly whisper as the breeze blows through the leaves.

In fact, I liked this so much that this poem was selected by NavWorks Press for publication in our volume, Sometimes Anyway. See my Writer's Café blog for more details: http://www.writerscafe.org/navworks/blogs/Release-of-Two-New-Books/126161/

Love this piece! Like Andrew, I found it very tranquil.

Wow! This is very good! I like the idea of the trees and their branches and their boughs talking to each other in the woods. Who needs Tolkien's Ents when we have the real thing? ! :)) A very peaceful piece, I think. Made me feel quite relaxed.
