I walked across
the ceiling of the DIA
Center for the Arts
surrounded by Welsh Oaks,
Rodney Graham's photo's
of leafless trees growing
up from the sky.
The tangles of limbs
and branches anchored
in the clouds, converging
to support the trunks
and the spread of tentacle
roots obscured by the weight
of the world, suspended
above the sky.
Trees keep the earth
from falling, while most
people keep their feet floating
over the ground and their heads
planted firmly in the clouds.

I can't say I have ever walked across a ceiling but I can definitely say I have my head in the clouds most of the time. Trees, ah, beautiful trees keep us alive and are a beautiful creation of Mother Nature.

great write pvd. you handle your words with care, and yet seeming ease. The flow was wonderful and what was unsaid equally vibrant.
I enjoy your work |

I always have my head in the clouds during some time in the day. But I do appreciate the trees on this earth. Especially in fall. Well composed and great dedication to one of gods great creations.
