How Do We Stand?
By Margaret Simon
Response
I go to Lady Bird Johnson Grove
to be among these giant trees.
Fenced forest of ten thousand branches
diffuses blue sky radiation
illuminating tunnels in the midst
of roots ungrounded–a path
to the great unknown.
Moved by stillness,
we pass ancient ruins,
an army of roots intertwined.
I’ll lock arms with you
through dark spaces
where rays of light
are swallowed
and breathe in blue forever.
