Little Moments

Pine Forest

You feel like an ant

in a field of grass

with the tall, thin pine trees 

swaying,

swinging,

lurching,

leaning,

and dancing

above your head.

The trees remind you that 

even though humans are big compared to some

we are still like ants in a field

with so much out there besides us

The trees can teach you more than that though

For in those big gusts they survive by being flexible

Together they sway

Together they survive

For if they were stiff they would be dominoes

For if they were alone the wind would be too much

It is by being resilient together that they survive

Watch those pine trees careen in the squall
