When I looked in your eyes
I didn’t see fear
or questions about the war—
But of course!
I saw the tree above us
reflected
and growing toward the sky.

When I looked in your eyes

or questions about the war—
But of course!
I saw the tree above us

and growing toward the sky.

Love the simplicity of this poem. I’m accustomed to reding your short stories. This poem made me stop and say…what ? Where is the rest?…..ahhhh again I read and notice….there is wisdom between the lines. This day is my 73rd Birthday…spent cleaning a 5,555.squ ft home in Frontenac. We came home to new carpet in our bedroom and a living room full of bedroom. My mind was wondering…just what is a Birthday supposed to be like ? No more…Trees ubove us…❤

Hmm love this. We often get caught up in the madness of life and forget the smiles of a child or the tears of a widow. The trees that shimmer in the sunlight growing without a worry of tomorrow. Just
Existing for his glory. Thank you needed that reminder today.
