open sky


in
the
forest
one
tree
seeks
another
path,

heartened
by
open
sky.

    I'm taking "heartened by open sky" back home with me. It speaks volumes.

    This is a beautiful nature poem, but also an uplifting message of the human soul. Refreshing and wonderful, Rick.

    The pines stretch toward the sky... this could be a photo in my wooded surroundings.
