You and Me as Trees

On the back part of our land
where I'd never walked before
I saw you and me as trees
Trunks too close together
yet each one growing straight.

At the top, they leaned into one another
and mingled branches
sharing the sun and sky.
I smiled to think of their roots
down under the leaf blanket.
