Kavanagh Apple Trees

"But the trees seemed to know me. They whispered among themselves and beckoned me nearer. And looking around, I noticed the other small trees and wild plants and grasses had sprung up under the protection of the trees."
- Ruskin Bond

"Two Trees
A portion of your soul has been
entwined with mine
A gentle kind of togetherness, while
separately we stand.
As two trees deeply rooted in separate plots of ground,
While their topmost branches
come together,
Forming a miracle of lace
against the heavens."
- Janet Mills
