I see the dark shape of trees,
outlined by the night sky. They look
disproportionate with their small trunk and
heavy crown. What a weight they have to
bear, the heavy crown of years sitting on
their shoulders. I smile, because it makes
me feel like I am not alone.
At times
the weight
of the world
seems to sit
on my
shoulders
too...and
once again
I wonder.
Who am I?
I am...
