Trees
To Ryan my beloved friend and brother We will remember you always.
Trees, tilting, twisting, and twirling in the spring wind.
Towering above the earth almost touching the heavens.
Watching over us as the guards of the forest.
With their creaking and choking laughter above the babbling brook.
With the wind whispering to their leaves telling the secrets of the winter sky.
Towering above the earth almost touching the heavens, Leafless the trees grow ever still waiting for it to be spring again.
