Listen

I see today’s lost soul

Just as I was that lost soul

Some time before them


I see the scattered feathers

Just as the fox attack

Has left them


I see the water of the lake

Just as that other water

Which my sorrowful soul gazed into


I see grandparents, parents, children

Just as we might have been

But not as we are


I see the light in the deer shelter roof

Just as it was

The last time, and the times previous


I see (feel) that the silence is not here today

Just as I didn’t actually know it was

All of those times in the past
