Talking to Trees

There’s a rumour in the trees
The wind is whispering
Leaves rustle the message along
To the fairies and the elves
The birds and the beetles
All must know
There is a human afoot
In their sacred forest
Is she friend of foe?
Gossip is she’s an Earth Angel
Who believes in magic
And talks to the unseen
Her peers wish to lock her up
For they label her unwell
When she converses with animals
Mythical characters from books
And the majestic oak
But she’s our kind of ‘sick’
