Memory Forests


squirrels scamper through the tree limbs

of the mind as they move from thought

to thought, avoiding the sun and those

who might be hunting them for food...

hollow trees are their homes throughout

the year, living with the memories that

afford them a reason to survive...  inside

their tiny bodies are the values of life,

carried around from one generation to

another generation, letting their offspring's

the right to choose which tree in which

they want to live and end their lives...

birds fly in and out of the tree limbs of

mind stopping here and there to view

the memories they have created with

their journeys and still they must also

hide from the hunters who seek them

because they don't have the right colors.
