Name of the story

My grandfather explained a difference

between taking care of and how to take care for.

There would be a difference.

As he stood close, nearby my body,

he taught me the wisdom of his forest,

by silence.

Some people, children of parents,

read it all, in books.

Along the way,

he touched my spirit

by his sweet, soft hands.

He asked me, after fifteen years,

my name because he had forgotten.

But I could not tell him,

my first name or family name.

It is namely and rarely found,

somewhere in lost, lost hands.

In the night, a silent whisper

sounds between his trees, high up

in his forest.

In clouds, no such darkness

was to be seen while I noticed,

the turn, my eye, above all heads.

Down, on the ground, I felt

as if the wind could not reach,

out to.

All the time,

waters underneath my sky

have pronounced

a silent and decent walk.
