I Long to Be
Lost as a tree
Lost as a tree in the forest
Lost to myself
Shrouded by leaves
Held in the shadows of evening
Letting go of my hold
Hold on this heart
Hold on this heart made of stone
I long to be
Tall as these trees
Tall as the trees in the forest
At home with myself
Covered in leaves
Leaves as bright as the sunset
Learning to hold
Hold other hearts
Hold them safe in this forest
Nice poem. I love the repetition. Reminds me of “Tree” by Joyce Kilmer.
Thanks for hanging in there with me, Michelle
