Moon on Cedars

If I were a cedar tree
if you were one, too
we might by some enormous
stroke of luck have been planted
side by side
and then one night
when all was still
we'd watch night fall
together,
our limbs intertwined,
an indulgent moon
smiling down,
a gentle wind
nudging your branches
nearer to mine.

-- Annie Wyndham
