Lost & Found
He chained his bike to a tree
when he left for war
but never came back,
his parents kept it there
waiting for their son.
A century later,
the bicycle flies like an angel
reaching skyward for its rider,
carried upwards in the arms of the old oak
that cradles parts of the frame
inside its bark.
Just so the shining silver,
a revelation inside a split log,
a lost hatchet revealed.
Someone set it on the ground
and lost it,
it was found
claimed by vegetation,
then found again
by an amazed woodcutter.
