Saying goodbye to your be-loved one, whether it be a person or a tree, is always difficult. This apple tree graced my yard for nearly two decades since I grew it from a sapling. Even the cat loved it. But a disease got it last fall. I hope it will grow new branches next spring.
Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; some few to be chewed and digested.

Courage consists in equality to the problem before us.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
I saw her last night standing outside
my window. The lady from my old memory,
when I saw her I remembered my old glory
I ran out to greet her but she was gone.
For a long while, I stood where she stood before,
envisioning her lovely face. Lady in black, why
did you have to run? What’s there to be shy?
I will wait for you until my time is done.
