Poetry + Photography Collaboration
If you ever come to fear time
Stand amongst the tallest of trees
Just like those trees hide their ages within their rings
Bury your days within the depth of your bones
You are not your time
Walk tall in nature
Where you may feel the youngest
Even in your dying days.
