Climbing More Than Sycamores

If we trace our history in trees,
I guess the sky would be our home –
skeleton limbs raised to moon’s cold stone.

Will they etch it on my tombstone
that I saw the world in t(h)rees?
– ocean, silence, home.

Will you build me a home
to climb to, a quiet corner stone
to hold my head, some small shade trees?

Of stones, I am unthrown; in trees, I’m home.

Still hanging in there at NaPoWriMo (day 7). Wanna play?

    Love the thought of the sky and trees as home.

  2. I want “a home / to climb to,” too!

    This is wonderful.

  4. Nice Tritina! I love that you didn’t stick to a specific meter as that would have been all wrong for the carefree feel of a poem about being at home in trees.

    Love.

    Especially this:
    “Will they etch it on my tombstone
    that I saw the world in t(h)rees?”
