trees make me feel small
and immense all at once
each connecting me to all
--the rich darkness of roots
under my breath I'll call
for a spring into existence
from extinction in leaf fall
--secretly yearning to be lost

My mom used to describe this feeling as big-little, which blew my mind as a little kid.
It's so beautiful where you live. Either that or you are good at finding the beautiful spots in it, both in images and words.
Wow, Sarah--that is a concept.
Thank you, StephLove. I do feel very lucky that there are patches of woods we can access quite close by.
Nice rhymes.
