The Knowing Gums
Fleeing to the swing, she slowly sways, head bowed, tears flowing. Gazing up, the gum trees soothe her, seeing and hearing her sadness.
Tears subsiding, she drinks the glow of gold glistening on lush, green leaves.
The sound of a car speeding away shatters her stillness, filling the air with her wails.
The gum leaves empathise, resonating with her grief.
