A Meeting

Just read a great collection of Wendell Berry, thought I’d share my favorite with you. -Jeff B.

A Meeting

In a dream I meet

my dead friend. He has,

I know, gone long and far,

and yet he is the same

for the dead are changeless.

They grow no older.

It is I who have changed,

grown strange to what I was.

Yet I, the changed one,

ask:”How you been?”

He grins and looks at me.

“I been eating peaches

off some mighty fine trees.”"
