Friends of Mil's and readers of Mil's Place know that Mil left us earlier this year. I (the "Beloved Editor") have been looking through his unposted writings, and will be selecting some for publication. This is the first.
THE POET
He’s the one
That reminded us
To see—
To see—
The universe,
The stars at night
The blue sky
Of day
The freshness
Of a dewy April morning
The clouds
The blue sky
The trees
Swaying
and shimmering in the wind
The roses
The flowers
The look of love
In a mother’s face
As she counts the
Fingers and toes
Of a new baby…
A baby’s first gumless giggle
Paper and pen
Would fail
To list
What we
Don’t see—
It was the poet - he did it
He reminded us
To see
And wonder….
Mil
