21 Dylan Grundstrom A forest cannot exist without trees Young and old Small and large Oak and Birch Pine and Elm Maple and Aspen All have their place Together or not Each tree holds a heart, an experience Wind may blow But none fight back Time passes Weather moves Trees wither and die This is expected for the aged trees Trunks hollow Bark falls away Elder trees may fall However When a young tree is uprooted The heart torn to the surface Only then is nature in lament Further survival is not common Young cannot become old Small cannot become large Taken, stolen, ripped away A forest cannot exist without trees forest
