I think man has untapped powers to speak with nature. Plants and animals do talk; it is only we who do not understand their language. There is no doubt that plants do communicate between themselves at times of danger as one tree transmits a message to a nearby tree to alert of a possible threat which might have a devastating effect upon them. So we must love and protrect trees and all forms of nature.

In that especial corner of my house
Where I retreat after a day's work
There stand two friends gracefully
They are African type banana trees
In between them I put a Somali mat
To lie down and stretch myself a bit
And to surf the sky as I contemplate
As the stars keep winking alternately
A cool breeze touches me in the soul
And the leaves make a spectacular dance
The banana trees are part of my family
In peace we live together
In love we pray together
In harmony we speak each other
