There is an optimum time for all things, often a small window... and although perfect harvests are invariably those well planned.. yet they are always at the mercy of dear old mother nature...
this is such a well crafted poem my friend..... cheers, N

There\'s always life to be seen if we know where to look. Or rather, how to look. I love this.

Good Evening FAY ~ Brian here (ANGELA still in bed 5:30 am SATURDAY in NZ} Love the PIC & the sbsequent POEM. Attenboroughs SERIES on the SEA has shown us just how ignorant we are of SUBAQUA ~ LIFE & DEATH ! I envy some of my Friends who studied MARINE BIOLOGY @ UNI. I love CRABS (especially Living Ones) but deceased ones taste Divine ~ Fresh Cromer Crab is a fairly local delicacy in Essex !
The discarded SHELL of any deceased FISH is a PARADOX ! A thing of BEAUTY and yet at the same time the discarded ARMOUR of a once Proud Warrior !
To me the lesson is ~ WE HUMANS clothe ourselves with Expensive Clothes & Jewellry ~ Intellect & Pride & Honour in our Communities etc. BUT when the time comes for our DEMISE we all stand NAKED & SHELLLESS before our MAKER ~ AMEN. Thanks for a very thought provoking POEM !
Blessings & Peace & Love
Yours BRIAN 💙💙💙💙💙

Only a poet could make something as beautiful as the mystery you have crafted here from bits of stone, sea waste and an old discarded carapace...... N

So realistically you bring to life a product that moved the world, and people that moved the product, in days past.

Lovely the romance you have placed into this \'bringing home the coals\'.
In simpler, more tragic times where actual survival to a natural death were an accomplishment in itself then coal and its comforting benefit must have been a huge plus for any social grouping. Those days before it\'s energy was released to power the industrial revolution.
Nowadays it\'s so easy to see just the negative pollutant aspect of coals. But as a lad it was one of my duties to keep the coal scuttle full and gave me the familiarity of chopping up large hunks of coal and yes the silvery gloss of a fresh cut piece along its grain. Often there would be the golden traces of what i took to be iron pyrite \'fools gold\' running along the grain too.
Hey, thank you for this opportunity to recall my early coal scuttle days and cold winter evening visits to the coal shed. Mom never made me do the frosty morning duties... a tribute to motherly love.
Amazing the associated memories which come to light when you do this romantic reflections thing again Fay. Very enjoyable little daydream i entered there.

Why did I lie to myself, and to everyone, when I said \'I\'m an excellent singer?!\' It won\'t heal any scars, only open new wounds of torment! heehee.

What beautiful thoughts.
Upon reflection you do help heal scars (just as it says on your tin) insofar as you show us the beauty of this place we inhabit with your well chosen weave of words especially seducing us into looking deeper at the dawn of each day. Pray that the dawns revelation shall remain in our heart the day long.
Yes the cosmos or universe does pledge support once we gain the perspective of where we fit into it.
