...the forest for the trees
 
we are people of the trees, forest people
caretakers of the swaying, speakers for silent ones
flightless birds sheltering from a storm of devastation
 
How was I so blind to the tower of your strength?
  how did I miss your fluidity, yielding to the furnace of a world in so much pain?
how long were you standing,  watching me, waiting for me,  my quiet, graceful teachers?
how did I never catch the falling  forest for the trees?
