Tree Poem

Is the tree that's pruned preoccupied with pain?
Standing with its wound in the wind and rain,
shrouded in mist,kissed by the dew,chosen for a rest by a bird or two.
Enveloped by fragrance of rain-washed air,
Bloodroots and violets clustered round it there.
Gently transfigured as sap begins to flow
