looking up
as if he just discovered
that tree
Yesterday for the longest time, he just stood there, looking up at the tall towering tree as if he had just seen it for the very first time. This wasn’t so. He’s painted two portraits of this tree, I’ve seen them. And for years now, he’s passed by during walks in the woods and stopped at this tree and lingered here gazing up, then taking pictures….gazing more, then lingering, in no hurry to leave….the way you do with a long lost friend or faithful lover.
