This reminded me of the Dutch Elm Disease that wiped out all the chestnut trees in the U.S. They died from the inside out, became a hollowed-out trunk and nothing else. Can we try to save our natural environment?

Good write SB. I see some trees with rot or leaning over. Must have strong roots so as not to come crashing down.
A joke now (argh): What is brown and green, and if it fell on you out of a tree, would kill you? Nope, not a branch - but a snooker table! heehee.

A powerful metaphor about decay and the need to let go of what clings to us - quietly thought-provoking and beautifully written.

Your words weave nature’s truth with haunting grace—
a stark reminder to shed what decays, leaving no trace.

I see two very important meanings to this poem, I see the soul of a person and a soul of a tree. Wonderful 🌹

Love the metaphor, pebbles creating ripples, and have used it myself; never in a poem though. Well done, Soren. 🌹👏

Poor neighbour. Just when he thought it was safe to go in the water! Darkly amusing.

Indeed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...is BLACK & WHITE. That\'s just faux security for the insecure. Well done on this poetic musing, my friend. 🌹👏

Your words ripple through time,
each verse a pebble in the mind’s pond—
beauty fleeting, impact eternal.

I read here that creatvity in the form of a Poem, a sand castle or a song sung cause ripples in the world but nothing lasts and their impact can actually disturb the balance.Quite a lot in a small space,Well done

Always great reading your work! Hope that disturbance calms sooner than later.

orchidee said:

It\'s the need to \'speak the truth in love\', I would say. If it\'s truth only, it can seem harsh, bigoted, \'like it or lump it\'. Maybe if it\'s love only, it can seem soft, wishy-washy, sentimental.
\'What\'s all this sensible thinking from you? I\'m the one who thinks sensibly\'. Fido says to me. lol. He knows.

Thought provoking!
Kindness can sometimes be a valid reason for deception, a little white lie can be more compassionate than harsh truth.
