Grant Park

Today I got caught in the rain 

While walking through woods 

I knew as a child 

I was taking pictures 

Of carvings in trees 

Professions of love from 1978 

Stairs carved from stone 

Slow moving streams 

That showed the drops of rain 

I looked to the sky 

Let the rain hit my face 

And breathed deep 

The air of the forest 

I wish I could’ve shared it with you 

The extreme beauty 

The infinite feelings
