Notes About The Poem

"Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf." — Albert Schweitzer

- Silence After the Storm -

autumn storm
                                              makes violence
                                       against a trembling oak


                                             the silence 
                                                  afterwards 
                                              awakens our past

Silence has a way to awaken our past at times, and I think hugging a tree definitely helps dear Sunshine, Thank you for sharing your precious heart. Always your friend xo
