Thanks FAY for another winsome Rural Ode. Because I am a Scientist I love WIND TURBINES with their clean lines and aerodynamic engineering ! Some LUDDUITES see them as visual pollution ! In EAST ANGLIA we have some Working Real Windmills and they are MAJESTIC by comparison ~ AND they produce FLOUR one of life\'s staples rather than electricity which is a 20th C luxury and unfortunately a 21st C necessity ! Thanks for reminding us of the WIND-AGE ~ Yours as always ~ BRIAN

Absolutely wonderful writing. You are a magician of words producing a spectacle of delight from plain english.
I feel the emotion spilling here. You have gone straight to the heart of the deepest feeling of loss.
A MUST for my favourites.

HIS SCENT.
myself and me said:
As if I could smell the scent, feel the yearning. It took a lot courage to move on. Brilliant writing.

This was just lovely Fay. Common sense might tell you what it will but whenever you catch that scent everything comes back........ (Fay was this a death of someone you knew or just a parting?)

Are you kidding me? That last stanza is a gold mine I tell you what. I\'ve seen a lot of synonyms for the use of the word \"Present\" but just simply saying \"all my now\" nearly took my breath away. Wow. I have a lot to learn it would seem. Absolutely remarkable.

CARPE DIEM ~ SEIZE THE DAY !
Thanks FAY for another beautiful Poem which parallels our awakening (to face a New Day) and Nature\'s daily awakening !
HUMAN AWAKENING ~ We leave sleep ~ listen & watch and appreciate the Day warming up ! We wash & dress and enjoy \"fresh pressed orange juice !\" and then ~ PUT ON THE MORNING !
NATURE ~ The dawn light dawns and Spring buds are opening ~ the air temperature starts to rise ~ rays of Sun & buzz of bees ~ the wind purifies the air ~ MORNING HAS BROKEN ! Let us rejoice in every NEW DAY ~ AMEN Yours as ever BRIAN !

A fine morning, and all-day write Fay. it started me off with the hymn: \'Come let us join our cheerful songs\'.
And yet, in churches with ye olde language, there is a line: \'The burden of our sins are intolerable to us\'. So is my singing to some! heehee.

As we bemoan too much precipitation in most of the US, here they struggle without. Great write and thanks for sharing, Fay! Beautiful writing!

A fine write Fay. Kenya -and elsewhere too maybe. We moan about the rain, if too much! And what\'s that bright light in the sky today? Ahh, the sun. Thought we\'d never see it again! Not seen it much this past week.

Repost are great and bring work to some that may have missed its first appearance. Coping with grief can be difficult and I myself find poetry to be a good tool to help. Thanks for giving us another look.

Your last stanza is wonderful Fay (as is the rest) - but that reminded me that when someone dies we mourn but also feel fear about our own death....so \"conceding to mystery fear has been lost\" is a gift we hopefully come to.

Thanks for posting FAY and thanks for your comment which explains why this Poem is out of phase with your recent muses ! When one suffers a sudden loss ~ committing ones feelings to Poetry can be very cathartic ~ and I am sure this one was ! When we suddenly lose someone close ~ time & tide stop and we find ourselves in \"griefs limbo\". This feeling ~ which I share (accidental death of a Brother @ 16) is perfectly expressed in your requiem ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Love the visual ~ Yours as always BRIAN

A beautiful write, my dear Fay!
Alluring indeed! An awesome poem and the view your pic shows us is beyond beautiful!
I enjoyed the read! Your personification of your homeland is so inviting. Perhaps one day my eyes will be privileged to witness its beauty!
