Poems
Dec 2012
Forestem sylvam
I would be forever grateful to the woods.
let me be a humble fir
let me be a consequential balsam
let me be a great-hearted cypress
I would slowly stretch my branches
forever wishing to embrace the forest,
forever green and thirsting for compassion.
I would carve rings in my *****
maybe one for each year I’ve survived,
maybe one for each year I’ve lived.
I would hope for lovers to inscribe professions in me
then I could pray their passion endures,
then I could know I did my part.
let me be a modest cedar
let me be a blushing pine
let me be a pining spruce
I would be forever gratetful to the woods.
