In January we had some very strong winds and storms in Yorkshire and across the region. There has been lots of damage to trees in Secker Woods, during these storms and one early morning after a very blustery night, the woods felt tired. The trees were still clacking and creaking, swaying in the now balmy breezes.
At the end of January, when I began this 'project' I wrote and set the lyrics in one day, sadly time is not always on my side, but I hope to work on February's offerings today and then March/April later in the week.

After the Storm
After the storm has passed
The forest heaves,
Leans in on itself.
Sighs leave branches for fallen friends
The mild mannered morning caresses the forest with balmy breezes
Blowing through clouds
Soft round treetops
After the storm has passed
The forest heaves,
Leans in on itself.
Sighs leave branches for fallen friends
Trees whisper through high canopies
Secrets of the storm
Lean in to listen
Clack and creak their tired trunks.
After the storm has passed
The forest heaves,
Leans in on itself.
Sighs leave branches for fallen friends
