The Bamboo Garden

Come,
And for a moment
Weave
The many slender, separate trees
So closely placed,
With motion of a kind
Different.
Let progress
Sideways
Slow
Induce
As palms and finger tips repress
Through long, smooth spaces
Gently gripped
The sliding down away of years
Until a memory
Abrupts.

The peaceful sound of the following passage is like a tender massage to my heart and soul. Very lovely, Bob!

Come,
And for a moment
Weave
The many slender, separate trees
So closely placed,

A gardner will see tranquility -
a Veteran will recall other times and places -
a poet will ponder both...

well done Sir...

You have done it again Bob.... set my mind to ponder the images and the thoughts behind them...I agree this could be such different things to different people...

as usual.. I am in awe of the words and the form chosen...
