(for a painting by Abdelhaq Djellab posted Nov.10,2024, above which he inscribed a quote by FDR as an epigraph.)
--- 'The only storm that came to us from the east and did not carry thorns with it is Khalil Gibran.' (Franklin D. Roosevelt) *

A tracery drawn in stark contrasts suggests
the austere grace of a hardwood forest in winter.
One inhales the briskness of air after a storm,
in which crystalline flakes sifted through forest pillars
and whirling gusts shook limber vines.
The picture makes me think of New England,
perhaps because Khalil Gibran's early years in America
were spent in Massachusetts (if memory serves) .
He endured the coldness of a displaced adolescence,
yet transformed its chilly hours into powerful flights
able to move the heart of a president
who wielded a different kind of power.
