Although the little boy I photographed and wanted to be called Tarzan said he was only playing, I could see something else in his eyes, and particularly in his smile. / So, inspired by this young child, I wrote a simple rhyme, with apologies to A.A. Milne.
Come swing on this branch love, come see how i flourished. / Come witness this sunset and view that i cherished.

little boy climbing high in a tree / little boy smiling down at me / “I’ve got a secret!” / he said, said he / little boy sitting high in a tree

The words were simply inspired by the visual, the image, and flowed.
