Exceptional Free Verb 2024 Gypsy's Free Verse : Mercy and Bread by Gypsy Blue Rose Poem of the Month contest entry

my heart aches and yearns to love You and be loved   I look for You day and night close, far, here, and there reaching for heaven as cypress branches do is that where You are? I thought I saw You in a motherless child's eyes   and a homeless man begging with open hands for mercy and bread or was it You in the sunrise upon the sea and sunset over rolling hills?     Author Notes Inspired by 'The Book of Longings' by Sue Monk Kidd In Spain, where I am from, we believe cypress trees point to heaven. They are planted in cemeteries. Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem. Gypsy
