I\'ve found 2 birds nests on my morning rambles, and have marvelled at the skill it took to weave them. You portray the cycle of the nest beautifully, the life that it held and ithe emptiness when its purpose has been served.

Nature seems to cope with this, even expects it.
Humans on the other hand may feel it as a redundancy and never recover.
Great analogy.

Soren… I know that feeling of something once alive now standing still. Your nest feels like those moments when life moves on without warning… and what remains is the quiet learning to breathe again. Thank you for naming it. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This made me visualise the aftermath where for just a moment I could feel the fear, a sight to see that a home now ruined. Very well written!

Yes, another subject close to my heart, being a grandparent of more than one autistic spectrum child. All of them are a gift to us, all of them a blessing, none of them an object to be judged, like an essay or mathematical homework. Thank you for adding to the argument.

Rose ( As it right truly be in middle English ( C.1380 )
Al be the rose with thornes kene ,
ful soore it prikketh me ,
yit is hir hewe so fressh on morwe so swete te biholde.
Whan dat a litel wynd hat overblowe hir leefes free ,
the smelle of hire ,in soft air borne,doth mak myn herte bold.
A litel been,y drawen to hir sugre reed ,he taketh flight ,
and leveth nought but bare stalk whan the flour y doun y -falle .
Thus fareth al fairnesse under sonne by day and nyght -
to springe to fade,to dye,such is the worldes alle .
Somtyme I clepe to mynde a rose I kepte ful faire,
presséd bitwix the leves of a book y- bounde in leef .
hir swote odour was agoon ,hir colour al forbare.
but stil it lay ther as a token of joy and of my greef .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I translate a language that no longer exists .
Middel English is neither old English nor modern english.
It is a shifting border zone full of local variations .
So the translation is never literal .
It consisted of guessing the intention through unstable spelling.
Dear friend ,my best poetic thoughts .

Lovely write Soren, you stated
“Now mere stalk and hip, seeds of fornication slip from your grip
So under autumn suns, as winter comes, a branch of memory I clip
Pressed between minds pages dried thoughts of past ages.”
There is depth here, this is definitely my favorite. You’ve definitely wrote something spectacular, overall this is a 👏🏻🙌🏼

Soren, that moment where “seeds of fornication slip from your grip”…that’s the line that stays. Raw, intimate, and perfectly placed. You let nature speak its own truth. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I\'ve noticed roses turning up a lot lately.
They must be the most sexy and alluring flower in the flower kingdom.
But they have a bad side, and many a protective glove has been pierced.
Still, the memory lingers and would we change that, probably not.

We all want a skyscraper to the sky, one step from heaven.
Sadly, only the money people reach those heights, and they don\'t care who sweated to get them up there.
Glad I just aimed for a bungalow.

You need a foundation which is sturdy and sound
and though you might try
You can\'t reach for the sky
if your feet are not firmly stowed on the ground
