Analysis of Tall Trees
You asked me if I’d ever been to *honey*
*creek.* And when
I shook my head, you
took my hand and led
me into the tall trees.
The river was
frozen over and moss
hung like beards on
the bare branches.
You said to close my eyes and breathe in
the world around me.
The nature, the beauty
and the quiet of the forest.
It quickly became my favorite place, not because of
what I saw there, but because of
what I couldn’t see.
