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.

A DELICATE THING.
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.

I don\'t think that there is anything so wonderful and so inspiring as a lone tree, its life flowing through it as it does in your words Fay.

Laura🌻 said:

My dear Fay,
Great structure and tone
to your wonderful write!
Your poem conjures a
magical vision of these
creatures migrating!
It’s fascinating to watch
these swifts in flight!

SWIFT MAGIC.
Goldfinch60 said:

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.

A fine write Fay. Meanwhile, I was trying to \'seize the day\' by understanding what \'Carpe Diem\' meant\'. By the time I found out, there was no more day left to seize. doh!

Heartwriter said:

It is sad when beauty turns to disaster. Just a reminder that nature is two-fold. On one hand it holds desire to the eye. In the other it can be hard and cold. Great write dear Fay!

SINGLE HANDED
Laura🌻 said:

My dear Fay,

I’m on my way to join you to enjoy the ride while I can still walk and talk!

I’ve enjoyed reading this lighthearted poem very much!

I’m jumping on that
“cloud sailing to dreams”!
You’re so spot on with...
“It’s never too late to define success.”

Let’s take that ride to buy ourselves
“the starter-kit set.”

Oh Fay you do look so cute astride that motorbike.
Being of that certain age there are many things on my \'would love to try or do\' list. But i\'m not sure my knees and back want me to get stuck in.
