When I was a little boy
I had a love affair
- with the trees.
All the trees.
but, mostly the ones in my yard,
and mostly the big, tall ones.
You could embrace them,
and they, you.
You could climb them to the very tip-top.
Oh, there were other trees
in other yards.
God’s yards.
You know,
when I was at the top,
the very, very top of the top
of the biggest and tallest tree,
I was closer to God
then I have ever been
- before -
or since.
