The Tree Whisperer

Was it a tall shadowy figure with lean feely fingers or the short hunched-over little old lady, who smiled fondly and admired the trees as she fed the pidgeons? No! It was the 'invisible creature' that I saw moving about the Trees as I sat on a train barreling down the tracks back to my cave. Not a cloud was in the sky and the Sun seemed to beam everwhere, spreading the nurturant Gift of Life amongst Nature's offspring.In this vivid scene, I saw the details of Tree branches and leaves being parted, pulled back, gently massaged and caressed to expose them to a Greater Source of Light and Life! The slow sway of the Trees enabled me to focus on the invisible 'Tree Whisperer' who was training the young saplings and nursing the old oaks to keep them strong and vibrant. Aaaaaaah the gusto of Life! When I finally discovered who the Tree Whisperer was,I saw a Hawk land on a pole that supported the catenary wires for the suburban train.I thought,'The train outran the hawk' but soon when the leaves have all fallen from the trees,the hawk will return along with the 'Tree Whisperer' and the natural rituals of Life will return again. At that instant ( in my mind's eye)the cloak of invisibility was lifted on the' Tree Whisperer' as I clearly saw the hands of the Wind at work...
