Hard Memories

 


Winter 22

In my wood stove I'm burning a chuck of  hard maple

A tree I regrettably had to cut down.

In it's past shade area stands a vegetable garden.

It's a lot like memories.

 

Once it was magnificent, 80 ft. high

Reduced to a stump

 Still feeding and warming

The one who used the ax.

 

We are just our memories

Our version of the past

Tough choices today

Imprint tomorrow and forever last.
