Inspired by the poem, “Trees”, by Mary Oliver:

Heaven knows how many
trees I climbed when my body
was still in the climbing way, how many afternoons, especially
windy ones, I sat
perched on a limb that
rose and fell with every invisible blow. Each tree was
a green ship in the wind-waves, every branch a mast, every leafy height
a happiness that came without
even trying. I was that alive
and limber. Now I walk under them- cool, beloved: the household
of such tall, kind sisters.

Oliver's Trees
