Ripples in the Grove
A sheet of paper, bent with care,
returns to pulp instead of air.
A crumpled note, a torn-off page,
finds in the bin a second age.
No tree falls for the thing we toss
when we sort and fold and let it cross
into the stream that feeds new fiber,
like roots that hold the forest tighter.
Small hands, small habits, every day,
the quiet choices light the way:
a flattened box, a clean dry sheet,
and forests breathe in rhythm, neat.
One gentle act, once made, once more,
ripples outward, forest-wide, to shore.
Flat Again
The box arrives, its corners sharp,
its tape torn free and tossed aside.
Break it down, fold it flat,
and let the cardboard breathe again.
Rinse the grease, shed the stickers,
keep the dry, the clean, the plain.
Stack it neat beside the bin,
and send it back to the mill's domain.
There, the fibers soak and soften,
lose their shape and sheen,
then rise as sheets of pulp once more,
ready for the next machine.
So flatten well, and recycle right,
for every fold you make
becomes a promise tucked inside,
of packaging yet to take.
Second Life
Old newspapers, yellowed and worn,
hold stories that the world has borne.
The headlines fade, the ink grows thin,
yet something new is folded in.
Drop them in the bin with care,
no wax, no plastic, clean and fair.
Let them rest with cardboard friends,
and journey back where new life begins.
From pulp they rise as crisp and white,
ready to carry words to light.
So whisper softly, paper true,
the world is yours to start anew.
