The Trees Are Bigger Now


When you go back there

Remember to breath in

Deep

Fresh

Air


Coming from the

Healthy

Strong

Trees


The trees are bigger now.

When you ambulate

Through those spaces

Be sure to

Notice the

Big

Thick

Roots


Since you were here last

Sinking deep

Sucking down


Nutrient hungry

Tendrils


The trees are bigger now.

Look up

At those


Stout

Long

Branches


Each with many fingers

Long enough to caress.

Your shoulders

And

The sky


Watch the clouds float by

And

Listen

To the leaves

Sing.


Sometimes things die.

To

Become

Something new.


Be sure to notice how,


The trees are bigger now.
