Night Wind

The night mountain has deep cold,
heavy wind, the small trees huddle
like small people, grow to fit their place,
their centers lean, grow crooked,
twisty to stay alive.

Oh, I grow twisty too! There is nothing like walking alone in the forest, listening, watching, being.

Very moving piece, and a bit haunting.

I like it. Makes you wonder about getting old and twisty and growing in your place.
