peach tree
The peach tree
has an unblinking eye
We stand still in time
The cool breeze
has a seeking soul
We stare out across the water
The setting sun
closes its eyes to us
Hand to heart, heart to hand
toes that squish in the sand
Our eyes are open but not seeing
We are searching within our being
Feeling, wishing, dreaming
The peach tree stares on
Are we to stand still forever?
Will this warmth freeze within a frame?
We blink away with the setting sun
The drifting smell of peaches
The distant beat of gentle waves
Where we stood, the footprints lay
washed away, one print at a time day by day
The peach tree moves in the wind
witness to the silence, captivated by the earth

I read your poem four times to understand a grasp of it because I studied poems intently in writer's craft and know how hard it is to decipher them. I'm impressed, I had no idea your writing skills has greatly increased.

-That's really sad..we will one day just become memories in the wind. And no one will remember us.
Anyway, I liked your poem Hoshi.
