A lovely invitation for your reader to wonder what it would be like to be born wild into the wilderness where your every day is filled with the sounds of ... shall we say \'silence\' and animal/birdsong. I\'m sure the plantlife would be eminating some sort of signals with which one would empathise. After all, were we not in a more truthful harmony with our rural surroundings before the powerbase of organised religion (yes including the druids) made its demands upon our mentality.

Homo sapiens had a great deal to answer for but nature will win when it destroys that evil destroyer on this earth. Good words Fay.

LOL @ \'batons raised\' lovely use here.
Am I right in thinking that most deforestation now takes place to create grazing land for cattle to feed our increasing demand for red meat (burgers) in the capitalist economy.
Politicallt, for the last few years we have seen movement toward nationalism across the world and rejection of globalisation (look at brexit and similar in europe and trumps policies in usa). One wonders whether this will continue into the forested areas and external capitalist encroachment will be stamped out. The current virus will certainly create a backlash to global trade (we found out u.k. cant produce enough of what it needs) and we may see a wind of change.
I planted a tulip tree in 2005/6, It would be nice to see more people planting trees in u.k. we\'ve seen enoughbeing removed from the urban environment.
Very thought provoking poetry from you today, powerful. I am not a \'sit back and watch it happen - oh we asked for/deserve this\' type of mentality. I am part of a silent majority who are dissatisfied and seek change though we do not pick up a baton to beat someone with.

Fay, the madness will only end when we are wiped out. The most destructive force on earth are not hurricanes, earth-quakes, or even pandemics.....it is us!

YESTERDAY ~ Love was such
An easy Game to play
O We remember Yesterday !
BRIAN HERE ~ Thanks for sharing FAY. When Angela & I first met (She was 28 - I was 33) we both felt we could share our experiences of those we had Loved & Lost. Especialy as neither of us had been Engaged or Married. The *words* in your Poem ~ ring very true in both our experiences. We still *Remember Yesterday* but it makes what we have NOW even more precious ! Married (for almost a Month !) & in our first Home together ~ AWESOME !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love Brian & Angela 💛💛💛

Fay, great poem, and that first line \'harbor of need\' is just incredible. We are all like ships hoping to dock in the \'harbor of need\' every once in a while to load up on that need, just to sail away again.

Once tasted, the richest flavour remains in our souls to drain our resources of desire.
Along comes the practicality of common sense and erects a barrier of \"i can do without more of that wrecking my life\" safely around us.
But oh dear,.. we erected it ourselves and we know just where to find it\'s weak spots..... and somehow so do the enemy.
Dontcha just love it when ya see the pictures ya paint in the minds of yareaders.... or not maybe lol

Do I read betrayal of the most sacred trust revealed here.
A hurt so personal. A hurt which could only be inflicted by the most important person in one\'s life. No other hurt could cut so deeply. Cutting through bonds as it stabs to the heart, killing a flame kindled for years. Nothing compares to the anguish of the moments of accepting this worst of all treachery is a certainty.
And then of course the \"what do I do now\" situation to be addressed.
All there in your words today, all the more vivvid to those who\'ve worn the T-shirt.
