[Critique Group 2] Joan for Feb

[Joan Myles]

Darling Friends,

Hot off the presses, a poem in honor of Tu b'Shvat, in celebration of trees.

Can't wait to be with you all!
Joan

Find a Tree

If you can’t see the forest

Find a tree.

Lean up against its sturdy trunk

With a book to read or the sky to watch.

Gaze into its branches and leaves

To bear witness to life and grace and joy.

Fondle the ancient skin

Rutted by time and wisdom,

The face of Gramma

When I climbed into her lovely shade

At the end of a too-long day

And  felt herarms reach for me.
