If Trees by David Taub

If Trees

If trees should weep
would i hear their tears
above the world's fast spinning?

Where the scurry and flurry
of life's every day
belies the fast short
flit of me -
But a blink of an eye
as i skim past by
their longer watch
of the seasons turning -

And when i've sung
all the songs i could
in the shortest breath
that they barely heard
Perhaps they'll weep
for me?
