This is one of my favorite poems that I have written. It's intentionally very ambiguous.

The whispering trees

grow broad and fierce.

Boughs creak

and roots break.

The face of warped wood,

it is screaming.

As night descends

its black cloak,

even crows are not safe.

The childrens' trail of leaves

leads off to the left.

Their luminous smiles

shine bright to the right.

But, the children do not sing.

The sins of their parents

weigh them down.

The trembling fox

is no longer cunning.

The humble rabbit

cannot run.

The trees, the trees,

they are made of bones.
