Sarah Lillian with an Olive tree

Tuscany, Italy

P L A Y

I look up to you

cradled nests
high up from harm’s way
home, held in your embrace.

first flights, leap
from those same branches
because of the courage found in your being.

and the many hands that stroke you,
life lines finding rings of time
tell of the way, you remind me

that in storm and still,
through seasons of vulnerability and glory,
you are unflinching

in your right to be
no more, or less perfectly a tree.

— Sarah Lillian Powell
