Rousing
orchidee said:

Good write Fay.
Yes, it\'s daft, some adverts on TV. It\'s always a bright morning; it never rains; all smile (sickly) sweetly; it\'s never a dark morning. Completely naff! lol. Nice dreams though.

There\'s a lot to be said about morning arousal when a bird is singing Fay. However I digress into fantasy land.

I love my minds silly picture of sparrows tucking into weetabix breakfasts whilst blackbird dines on rice and peas and robin calls through your window:-
wake up wake up sleepyhead Fay
it\'s time to start your new day
through your window thats ouvre
i say throw back your duvet
get up and get on your way.

Finding that one person to spend the rest of our life with is a great miracle. And you said it so well!

\'they viewed with awe
at what they knew had begun
for fate showed them
beyond convention\'s chained
boundary begins
destiny\'s chance for a second
time round\'...
that tingling - rekindling
of feelings
once thought - long shrivelled
by those weighty silences
in our moonless nights,
a good read dear Fay

\'humans just bow in acceptance\'
or sadly, take aim...
I never knew how magnificently intimidating they looked \'in flight\' until a few years ago, so fast: their dive is spectacular,
a fitting dedication dear Fay

You describe well the magic between two as they realise their feelings are mutual and a new oneness of purpose begins. .... sigh!

Beautiful words Fay and a wonderful picture.
All raptors are so wonderful to see and I have seen many of them in my birdwatching life.

This photo is terrifying. I cannot look at it without the feeling that in the next few moments my guts are to be torn out
Yet I don’t want to forget the grace and beauty of these raptors in the air. Perfect harmony with their environment.
Your poem covers the current situation perfectly, structured with the care, which is your forte, Fay.

You are so right. Many photos of violence, natural or other, seem as if they will shatter the lens and burn a hole through the film or whatever is inside cameras these days. Fit metaphor for human slaughter too? We don\'t seem to ask for permission, do we?

amazing creatures aren\'t they .. and probably as near to perfect predators as there ever has been ..

I think I saw a couple of frames after this mid air shot was taken ... shocking, but entirely necessary for survival ...

Hi Fay
I love the first line and the pace of the poem. Falcon\'s don\'t hang about with their killing.

Built for predation. Such perfection is poetry itself. These are stunning birds to see in the wild as are all the hawks. Mind you, you\'ll need excellent eyesight to determine which hawk you see because they don\'t hang about.

Yep. I think you\'ve encompassed all of a bird of prey\'s action features here including their usual brief appearance.

Wonderful words Fay, may that love\'s awareness be forever with us.

The words of love enriching understanding and acceptance. But told in your exquisite style.
Again, to write like this, one has to have lived it.

\'while when gentle generates ease
hurtful moments start
to melt for regret weeds out stress
then stillness returns
to dissipate pain and scatter seeds
of relationship\'s curse
as forgiving aids love\'s awareness.\'
just a drip of your daily writing routine these words may be, but they reach deep to those unspoken words of regret I carry with me, what a wonderful gift you share with us dear Fay, beautifully worded

there is more truth contained here than is fair to most non fiction writers .. and your summative line is more than insightful ... it is enlightening ...

You have such a remarkable way with words .. I only need to half close my eyes and I am transported to some other place ... write now is no exception to that rule .... Sunday tea time with my Mum & Dad and little brother ... it never varied, until it was gone ... x
