Today's word is "dendrochronology" ... den-droh-kruh-NOL-uh-jee ... the science dealing with the study of the annual rings of trees in determining the dates and chronological order of past events. (Dictionary.com) Each ring can be traced to a specific year in history.
One
If it were so easy,
To count back all our years,
Remember salient moments,
Of joyfullness or tears.
We would spend yet more time,
In cogent reminiscence,
Instead of running forward,
From the moment, which, this is.
In dendrochronology,
The rings all tell the tale,
Lives touched will be the rings God counts,
When we are all unveiled.
