LGBTQ+ Poem: The Woodlands, by Andrew Sarewitz

I come to the woodlands for the air
For the hills and heavens and for the green
For the grace and the beauty
And to be with you
I chose these woodlands for you

I come to celebrate and to mourn
To thank and remember
To raise a glass to a life lived well
Whatever comes now
No matter the silence and solitude
I’m grateful
And quietly a better soul
Having walked by your side
