"HUGGING THE TREE"
Rough and round like life it lay, on the sun hot day I pressed my body and cheek to the felled giant sentinel. of the wide cool river. Roots reaching to the sky of its life and I at the top where no man had touched. The Delaware called us in to float, tried to pull us out to join its rushed journey. Instead, we stayed joined becoming one, feeling the hum of the earth below. Life and death embraced sweetly as the moon rose, on the Pennsylvania mountains. By Christine L. Reed
