Cierra Brooks

Trees and People

I stand tall
While you lean against me

You stand tall
While my legs have failed me

I stand tall
As you should too

You stand tall
As I wish too

I stand tall
But I cannot move

You stand tall
Under the vast blue

I’d offer all I have

Just to save you

With two poems previously published through Granite Hills 2018 Reflections, she adds another poem to this journal and places a new stepping stone that leads to her ideal future.
