The forest is a token.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Epic
The forest is a token.

The forest is a token of trees. We live quietly and at ease. All the neighbors are by our side. Just like the cities are so wide. The buildings tower up to the sky. The wind blows intimately through the trees. I hold a communion with all my friends. I can see the pine and the gentle birches day by day. They keep me happy and warm as I kneel down and pray. Just let me stay, if only for one more day. I will always love you at the end of the day.

About this poem

I just love the woods. I wish I had a cabin.
