Conductor of the Forest Arielle Levy

Conductor of

the Forest

A grass hung out of my denim overall pocket. It blew in the wind. The sky was above me, But also below, As my eyes met the lilies of the creek and the clouds they rested on. Poetry whistled from the trees, As my pencil danced. I am the conductor of the forest.
