When the Ocean Came To the Woods
It was a regular Wednesday, nothing extraordinary about it
Until two thirty-nine, when the ocean came to the woods.
The ocean had never visited us before
we did not know what to make of it
tropical fish were all about now
not in our brook or our stream
but in our air,
lively
moving about
showing off their colors
It was an amazing time
Our human ran to touch them
There was an invisible barrier
but for about six hours,
we oaks got to see the ocean
and what she has to offer
it was a memory we will never forget
