Notes About The Poem

June 2025, placed 2nd in Andrea Dietrich's High Five for June contest

           **********************************************************************

Junipers


Junipers symbolized rest and refuge in ancient times.
Elijah, Job, and Jeremiah were drawn to these special trees.
During their worst times, resting beneath them, they pondered life and death.
