I'm walking through this long
corridor of Red Pines,
footsteps soft and silent
on layers of needles
slowly becoming soil.
Recalling the signage that said:
"Planted in the 1930's
by the Civilian Conservation Corps
during the Great Depression."
Decades later,
I appreciate their work;
it has made a great impression.
