Cali Searls – About Canoeing And Camping In Border Waters MN
Miniscule pines
Reach finger-like branches toward a canopy
That seems forever away
Few will reach the distant canopy
And even fewer will reach the heights of their
predecessors
Those that do
Will be the majestic pine forest of tomorrow
I dream in rhythm with this experience
My body rocks in dreamless sleep
To the tune of ubiquitous chickadees
I am wild here
I grow like the pines — with the pines
Feral and free
