just one more, passion
we share dear Poet, Supreme
I too
could write a book\'s worth of Ode\'s
to those Trees, that
offer us, so much stability
of solace
in our, chaotic lives...
beautiful! thank you
and yes, if we heed their wisdom
they always lead us
to that Right, path
in life

Zen Tree
dusk arising said:

The most relaxing of sounds are those of trees swaying gently in a breeze. The quiet rushing of leaves high above and the mesmeric creaking of their boughs. A emotionally warm companion to sit with and contemplate is a mature tree.

Just who knows how much a tree sees (or hears) and whether it is our next step along the continuum of being.

Footnote: in the supposedly \'woke\' (yuk) days your use of \'brother\' mocks these new attitudes. You might well have chosen sister but clearly we don\'t have trans gender trees in our woodland. I don\'t know what\'s going on. Saw an article about a protest on one of these \'woke\' issues and several protesters had placards reading \"some women have a penis\". Has the world gone mad Neville?

Didn’t hear any Zen going on there Nev (tin ear?), but what I did hear, no feel, was foreboding…. And it’s raw.

Thank you dear N. for showing by poetic talent how much power emptiness holds.

Ah yes, that old chestnut. Erm, not meaning a chestnut tree particularly!
\'If a tree falls in a forest with no one around, does it make a noise?\'
Well, it might be a chestnut tree. Woof! (Fido says) \'Do shut up now Orchi\'. lol.

The imagery invoked by your words is really impressive. Now I want to see if I can do the same, you should be proud of yourself. (:

Cold winter winds outside can stir nostalgic thoughts. Alone times spur those thoughts of hope. Love is a warm place within us for yesterdays and hopes for chance.
It\'s all there and more i daresay in your emotional post today.

Kevin Michael Bloor said:

a lovely tribute, Neville. Love the conversational, direct address. I penned a similar poem about my grandad, called Stormin\' Norman. Again, a moving a heart-felt work. Well done! We will remember them!

Once love is exchanged no matter the time a couple remembers the highs of their journey . A verse to remember and treasure as I am sure does your sweet Pam every now and again .................. x.

Never Going Nowhere Maybe
dusk arising said:

Those highs in life are with us always and remind us of how lucky we have been to live them. I hold a vision of life like a mountainous landscape reflected in the still waters of a lake. The higher we climbed is reflected in the depth of reflected despair. And years on we have become shaped and rounded to survive yet our hearts still fly away to those yesterdays when life was,.. well, what is the right word? Special?

So relateable.

Global Warning
L. B. Mek said:

how, regrettably - Poignant
these words read, dear Poet Supreme
\'Elsewhere
A child
Is now crying huge
Pre-spring tears\'
hundreds of children already, murdered
in Ukraine
such wanton, disregard for life...
if reposted
I\'m sure many would relate
with how current
these words seem..
a Great write!
