Trees in the Sky
After hours of hiking, who would have thought,
I actually enjoyed myself and then my eye was caught.
Looking over the rest of the mountain and city,
I found something that I had never before sought.
Looking at the trees in the sky being itty bitty,
Made the world feel big and pretty.
I looked at the trees and didn’t want to blink.
If so, I’d miss seeing even the rocks that were gritty.
I soaked it all in as it made me think,
Did the world grow, or did I shrink?
The appearance of the trees texture had me in awe,
That if I put my hand on it, it would sink.
I stood there, finally seeing the world raw.
I stood there, ignoring that one wrong step I could fall
Because there were trees in the sky after all.

This piece's structure is based off of one of Robert Frost's poems. I was inspired to write this because of a hike I took in Gatlinburg, Tenessee.
