The imagery and analogy of love, loss and seasons is amazing. Such a great write. I agree with previous comments - should get 10 stars and is definitely a favorite of mine!

Lovely words again Fay. If only we could do as you suggest. Sadly all too often yesterdays taint our tomorrows and our early yesterdays can have sometimes damaged us quite seriously.

YESTERDAY\'S GONE ~ My Friend FAY ~ TOMORROW may never be mine ~ Help me TODAY show me the WAY ~ One Step at a TIME ! My past is short (less than 35 years ~ only one third of my life DV !) but if I wallowed in its (few) sucesses ~ and drowned in its many failures ~ TODAY would be PAINFUL and TOMORROW FEARFUL ! BUT ~ your poem encourages me to encapsulate the things ~ which are BEHIND ~ and CARPE DIEM and press on the the high calling of BEING HUMAN ~ alive ~ healthy and intelligent enough to be an \"proactive\" member of MPS. Thanks for caring ~ Your POEM (and visual) has increased my resolve to firmly grasp (and implement) all the Opportunities that I know life will present ~ and toi increase my communications with my CAT TIGGA ! Your in appreciation ~ BRIAN

But as your other poems show - poets love the past! This poem that you wrote is already \"in the past\" - but we won\'t forget it!

This is entrancing, and causes something three steps short of a holy drunkenness. What a great piece. I am curious however of the line \"age-defeat you resist\". What did you intend for that?

Good write Fay.
Erm yes - I spoke to a tree. I said \'Tell me how old you are?\'
It replied: \' Be a tree- hugger and I will tell you!\' A talking tree - known only to me, where it is! heehee.

Good write. The rising of the wings at dawn is a great sight but the murmuration of starlings in the evening is absolutely astounding.
