Words From The Trees

A crew stands smiling toward the camera

Words from The Trees

In the woods I saw
In the woods I swamp
On the hill I crawl
On the hill I stomp
Atop the pile I ball
Atop the pile I romp
----
Magical is the earth
In debt to our minds we live
Peace only costs one sense
----
As we sit among the trees
Life begins to calm
From my fears I have been freed
----
Air dry my wet socks
My crewmates' beds are hammocks
The Doritos addiction is real, crushing it and enhancing it to every meal
This scrappy crew fills me with pride
In the middle seat I ride
Secretly, it is the best view
Dirt, wood, and twigs in my hair
Did I pack more than 2 pairs of underwear?
May Grist never be ablaze thanks to FC 6’s fuel reduction phase
----
Is magic real?
It might be
I’m sure it’s there
In the trees

In the ground
In the air
In all the things
In which you care

To say it's not
Is rather sad
To not believe
You must be mad

Watch the wind
Feel the waves
Hold the dirt
You must be brave

To take it in
To let it go
To let it die
To let it grow
