I love short poems you know. Sometimes they are more powerful than the big long ones which try to romanticise things too much. Great. And I am sorry, but is that Japanese under the English one?
Dorie… you make this tree feel like a whole ancient uncle who’s been quietly judging us for centuries. The closed-eye knots line?? I swear I felt it staring into my soul.
And the bilingual version?? Suddenly I’m reading poetry in two dimensions like some forest-powered superhero.

Loved this, truly~
Thank you Asuka, you honor me with your words. I hope you have a beautiful day!
Such a simple poem, but filled with primal life, and a restraint. Life blossoms in a quiet, controlled way
Thank you @PancakeSushi i was trying to bring this picture to life. What would she/he say about having lived so long? What wisdom? What acceptance?
