THREE EYES

Man has three eyes
one not seen.
It’s the eye
of an artist’s dream.

It sees
what others do not:
In a piece of wood
or what not.

Like as a child
you lay in the grass.
Watching
clouds pass.

Thus in the artist,
the child lasts.
Thinking of the past –
seeing the future.

Author’s Note: I have no idea how old this tree was, it was only a low stump when we moved here. It was pushed out when we started the basement for the house. So the root has been in the open for 16 years. The wonder of Nature… I love it.
