Hi, Sheilah!

We haven't shared poetry in a while. =) I just came across this poem by the recent Nobel Prize for Literature awardee, a Swedish poet. =)


The Tree and the Sky
by Tomas Tranströmer
Translated by Robin Fulton

There’s a tree walking around in the rain,
it rushes past us in the pouring grey.
It has an errand. It gathers life
out of the rain like a blackbird in an orchard.

When the rain stops so does the tree.
There it is, quiet on clear nights
waiting as we do for the moment
when the snowflakes blossom in space.
