Description
I remember

I was once a little girl
Who stood among the giant trees
Who used to laugh and play

When thunder came
I ran away
The trees my shield from storm

The sun came out
I went to play
The trees my friendly shade
Their glade an umbrella
That homed me
And stretched to the heavens
And saw no end

______________

Now I don't remember

Much
Of all at all
Has stayed

I play among the trees
The cement trees that see no end
And stretch beyond
The eye can see

When lightning comes
I do not run
The cement trees my cover

I know
Better

I look down
Sheltered

The rain hits hard
On something harder
Battered

Swaying still
standing

Once
My Giant Friends
