"The Greats" by Zack Darpinian

They are the trees
the oaks
the furs
the pines
the willows
We are the grass
the bushes
the flowers
the weeds
the vines
He is the sun
the truth
the light
the Father
the Almighty

They
lead us to the sun
give us ways to climb
They
choke out all the light
stunt our growth so short

They are the waystone
the passage
the highway
the shortcut
the trail

We are the walkers
the travelers
the runners
the followers
the hikers

He is the destination
the purpose
the end
the beginning.
