Oaks

Overhearing her shriek
At the trees, he 
Keeps gardening, whispering
Soothing sounds to the soil

Like the Ostrich with it's head in the sand. Says so much about humans. No judgement, just that we're all human. Peace. :)

AHA, so this is what you entered. I did not realize it was yours when you told me you did yours on a situation. I was thinking of a different one on the list. But this one did better!! I really like the last two lines. they are so awesome, but I was not sure what the first two lines meant. Let me know, will you? It makes me really curious. Congrats to you.
