Ahhhh once again you waken to the sound of the birds yawning in preparation to the start of their morning fanfare.
What an early bird you are yourself committing to site another of your wonderful \'doses\' of morning glory bringing, yet again, a smile to the face of us \'later arising\' mortals.
A pleasure to read.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
O FAY ! I am honoured that you have applied your poetic skills to my field of PLANT BIOSYNTHESIS ! My Poem would have been gobbledegook yours is perfect ! The more I understand about TREES the more I am in awe of them ! One set of tubes (XYLEM) brings water and nutrients in the soil ~ UP from the root system ~ and another set (PHLOEM) bring the products of PHOTOSYNTHESIS DOWN from the leaves. This forms a perfect integrated biosynthetic system to produce FOOD (and SHELTER) for MAN ~ INSECTS & ANIMALS. By PHOTOSYNTHESIS Plants convert CO2 and H2O into GLOCOSE (C6H12O6) and OXYGEN (O2). So every TREE (and plant) on the PLANET is essential to maintain the equilibrium between CO2 & Oxygen in the atmosphere. DEFORESTATION is another key factor in GLOBAL WARMING ! \"Woodman spare that tree for me !\" Thanks for caring & sharing. Love the POEM and the PICTURE ~ Yours BRIAN ~ Hugger of Trees !

My dear Fay,
Your outstanding poem has reminded me of the first poem I memorized as an English learner...“Trees” by Joyce Kilmer!
Trees are life...
Another writing that’s made a huge impression on me is a children’s book...“The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein.
Your exceptional poem will be added to my list along with Joyce Kilmer’s and Shel Silverstein!

Fay, even a tree will struggle to survive. We had to cut a dogwood regretfully. It was in the path of our septic system that was too be put in. We pushed it over from the root up. So it could be replanted. It at the moment is still root up and thriving. As soon as possible those greenest of leaves will flutter once again in the wind! Love this write.

dusk arising said:
Ah this just gets better and better as one reads on. I am always struck by the majesty of dead trees as they appear sculptured against the skylight. Appearing as earth\'s antlers reaching upward to a future spiritual path.
What wisdom do these trees hold, standing as they do for decades, centuries, observing from their one place life of all kinds around them. The marvels of natural beauty, the phases and fashions of humanity. War and destruction, murder, rape and pillage.
Yes i have been known to hug a tree and lose myself in those moments.
I love your \'the poem that we call a tree\' for they do sing to us, greet us, validate us. Like old friends they\'re there when we return to childhood haunts.
Majestic beings.
Lovely writing, thank you.

Swift are wondrous birds, I have had the honour to touch a swift that was stuck in the entrance to its nesting area in a building that I was working in.
You always know it is summer when the swifts appear.
