#733 i am the tree, the forest is me

i'm lost in the general details
between the trees and the forest
detailed generalities have me lost
between the family tree and out-on-the-limb
i love my roots
am my roots
family stories flow through me, sap of my soul

  1. I usually read your poetry as a warm-up before I sit down to write. Akin to the singer taking a throat lozenge prior to going on stage.
