The tree rarely spoke to humans, usually just animals heard his words. Today he watched the old man for a while. Struggling to walk his dog that foggy morning, the tree felt his pain with empathy.

“Do not worry, old one. I too have that pain of years. I too have been neglected, but here I still stand, shading you in summer, and a place to lean upon and rest in the cold. In autumn I will be a place to sit and revel in colors of my leaves, and in spring I will bring you the newfound joy and promise of bright new buds. Take your time old one, and reap the changes of life.”

Christine’s Daily Writing Prompt

The children gathered around the step

Singing carols with smiles met

Turkey with mushrooms or seafood fare

All prepared with loving care

Parades of lights and camel floats

Gifts for the three kings form a moat

Visages of Mary and babe

All present in Christmas parades.

All the smart men in the world gathered for their scheduled morning meeting in the glass dome. Here they felt the pleasant beams of the filtered air would inspire their creativity. In the dome, the vicissitudes of life didn’t touch them, and they were left free to contemplate benignity.

I think of you even without physical touch. In these moments I remember what your touch feels like, how it is soft and warm and loving. I think of how I nestled in your neck, wanting to be so close we were one. It seems I can feel this even when you’re not here with me. Knowing how I feel without speaking and then responding, is only a small part of our intimacy.
