Reading your joy of being able to detach from your physical and morph into the mindset of a homeward fox, or another living being, is a joy itself.

here in the most wonderful world of words, there are no level playing fields..
these words, tho of this world are but of a different plain....... an ethereal journey and surrounded by nature in all its guises.. what more could a guy wish for...... Neville

ANTICIPATION.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

THANKS FAY : FOR AN ELEGANT LOVE POEM ! It is presented in a gossamer vocabulary that precludes an \"18\" and excludes the Bark of Fido. It stirred our yearnings for each other and the shared intimacy of a Camper Van might just enable us to act out all three STANZAS !

1. Anticipation !
2. Paricipation ! !
3. Culmination ! ! !

We are both in our Prime (35 & 30) and nearly 8 months separation is too too much ! We both enjoyed the covert nuances in every word of your Love Poem ! Straight from your Heart to Ours !
Blessings & Love in the SPIRIT

Swoon! Fell off me chair! lol. A swoon\'s as far as I get, as Fido never lets me have anything \'exciting\'. heehee.

Wonderful words Fay, watching crows and rooks can be most rewarding, they are very intelligent birds .

My Dear Fay,

A fascinating and informative read!
I can see how these crow behaviors can be applied to humans!
I consider you a top notch writer!
I enjoyed reading your great poem! I especially liked the line...
“...mass stealing starts war in earnest
to keep robbing beaks away!”

What if all the nest raiders could be colored black? We have Bluejays that are raiders, yet beautifully colored birds.Selection by nest-building happens in humans as wealth weights the balance to he who can provide a Nest-Egg. Corny I know. Loved your poem, and I\'ll be watching the crows this Spring. - Phil A.

Michael Edwards said:

They really are gathering up a head of steam at the moment - circling cawing gathering sticks building nests - they may not be the most attractive of birds but boy would they be missed. The countryside would not be the same without them.

Jeez, if this is true i will life a life of enforced celibacy for my home is a mess.
It\'s difficult to think of a crow as a sexual being Fay. You\'ve certainly ruffled my feathers here tho. I shall be mighty wary next time i see an old crow at my gate eyeing up my possibilities.

O hear us while we cry to Thee
For those in Peril on the Sea !

Thanks for caring & sharing FAY ! Those of us in the UK who live on the Coast ~ know just how powerful and relentless the Sea can be. This has been exemplified this week by the stricken Viking Cruise Liner that almost capsized off Norway and had to be evacuted ! We were in the BALTIC on a Liner and the Sea was very rough and furniture was sailing across the lounge ! We were revented (by the stormy Sea) from docking in Copenhagen !
Deep Sea Fishing is one of the Worlds most hazadous Jobs. A Friend of from Lowestoft works for the Seamans Mission and his talk is \"The Price of Fish & Chips\" He supports retired & injured DS Fishermen and the Widows of deceased Fishermen. Your excellent Poem highlights the dangers faced 24/7 by Sailors & Deep Sea Fishermen ! We must always treat the SEA with the greatest respect ~ AMEN !
Love the Turneresque Painting you posted : scary !
Blessings & Love in the Spirit

It\'s a beautiful poem. It made me think of Hemingway\'s The Old Man and the Sea -- fighting against the waves and the storm, trying desperately to survive. Thank you for the poem. I really enjoyed it!

Some writes, like this one, bring back the images of one of my favorite movies , THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA with Spencer Tracy.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

We seem to have an Oceanic wave flowing through this site today.
I live in a coastal town, and was a sailor for a number of years. I have since learned to respect the power of the Sea. Your poem captures that force and power perfectly. The Sea takes whatever it needs. Lovely poem - Phil A.

Many a wise and courageous life has been lost, overcome by the magestic sea in its boiling maelstrom.
You have written a fitting tribute to those who live by putting to sea for their many reasons.

Turner is my favourite. He captures drama and strength for me. I was rather disappointed with the recent film, though Timothy Spall was excellent as usual.

Oh this left me feeling savaged by the waves.
There was a call in on the radio about a boat being hit be a storm yesterday.

Only your poem took me back to a time I apparently never knew, but rich was your tale!

One would be hard pushed indeed not to break out in a cold sweat while reading this truly amazing poem Fay... .. whether that is because of my passion for poetry, or my firm belief that I once went down in rough seas, somewhere off the Cornish coast.. would ya believe......

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD EVENING FAY ! SELF AWARENESS (and Self Worth) is a very important human trait exhibited by Children very early in life. Children show awareness that they are Individual & Special ! Schools that foster Self Expression in Music & Writing & Art are often amazed how perceptive children are of themslves - others and the Evironment - Often much more than Adults whose Self Awareness gets dulled by negativity ! This individual Self Expression facilitates \"Growth of the Soul\" ! Doubt (as you indicate) morphs into Faith & Proof ! Time ceases and allows contemplation and Self Awareness & Being become one ! This allow insight resulting in Spiritual Development. These developmental processes of the Soul & Spirit of Man continue (at very different rates) throughout our Adlt Life - AMEN
Thanks for an excellent dip into the BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
Blessings & love in the Spirit
