big hands

big hands they cannot catch mice

worthless though, not so much

the big tree, does not bear fruit

but a great shadow, where i rest

there is cause, there is purpose

in the empty lands 

i find no regrets

where i rest...

There is a purpose in everything. Maybe not everyone sees that. Your tree does not bear fruit but it provides welcome shade from summer heat. This poem speaks to me about finding contentment in what one has, in the way one lives their life. You have no regrets in the empty lands where you rest. It is a lovely piece of brevity.

Regret, to me, is the greatest of battle wounds. Of course I have them but I do my best to avoid them. Thanks for stopping by Chris, it's always nice.

Big hangs have a purpose just have big tree give lots of shade.

There is great power in simple phrases. Amidst the twist and turn of words the depths of boundless human emotion is contained. Sometimes we are more suited to be what we are and not what we want. Lovely poem.

That is a lovely interpretation. Thank you for that.
