Paying Attention

He flings veils across
The year to come and tosses
Shadows across the

Past. We learn to stand
With grace in between, like trees
Absorbing the Light.

I’ll probably never look at a wintered tree again, in the same way. Isn’t that the truth! Blessings!

Aww, that’s cool, Bruce. Or warm…

Beautiful, Deb – so concise! I admire poets who can pack so much into so few words. Well done!

This is beautifully profound . . . or profoundly beautiful, Deb!
