Hard to speak
Hard to breathe

Hard to live
In this sieve

I raise an eye
I draw the bead

I grow

A seed
A bush
A tree
A weed

A midwinter pine
With too many needles
And too little patience

For a common need.

Hi Paul:  I think you've got you assessment backwards.  The last four lines would be a great conclusion to something, but I'm not sure what that something IS from the first parts of the poem.  I don't understand the sieve allusion -- wouldn't it be easy-ish to breathe through a sieve?  What are you drawing a bead on?  I can't find the "target."
     Interesting to see you start to work with rhyme!

Best, Jim
