Then again, if I had a last word, it would be \'sherry\' or \'pork pie\' please. I wish I would shut up! lol.

A fine write Fay. I\'m not always so meditative. If I am, I aim not to be complex. In \'deep times\' some words seem to \'get in the way\' for me. None of this applies to your fine poem though. It\'s just me thinking aloud.

If I had a last word I think it would be \"forgiveness\"
Great piece of art

Super sensitive write. Nature can seem to be cruel but it will survive as long as homo sapiens appreciates it.

What a beautiful poem of love and understanding for nature and the life cycle. No one could express it in a better way. I can do nothing but fall in love. Gratitude!

While sad, you saw so much more in the death of that bird and you said it beautifully.

A beautiful poem with some stunning lines ... \"nature\'s calm requiem for the life and death journey\". Thank you for this poem so inspiring to all poets, I\'m sure!

I felt the experience through your writing. I have a double feeling about snakes. Some attraction and then respect. I don\'t know if I could have one draped on my little shoulder. Too scary for that, brace Fay.

WOW FAY ~ never saw you as a SNAKE DANCER ~ Well done ~ Oddly enough Ladies often find a big snake ~ Like a BOA CONSTRICTOR (as in your and my picture) less threatening than a small one ! I have an African Grass Snake I take into Primary Schools the Kids love it but the Female Teachers run a mile ! thanks for sharing the thought of FAY draped with a mega snake really made me smile ! Yours BRIAN

Fay, even though I don\'t think I could ever put a snake around my neck, I admire your incredible writing! Now I don\'t have to do it, I felt it as I read it.

Fay, this piece is absolutely mind-boggling and breath-taking at the same time...and, there are so many different things that you could possibly get by reading it...in fact, I want to read it again...anyway...also, the picture of the web with the ORBS surrounding it in atmosphere is very very interesting....and makes sense when you know what orbs are..I have seen them near larger animals such as cats and dogs but never around a spiderweb....Thank you for your submittal...enjoyed immensely

Thanks FAY ~ My Mum taught me that Ladies are much more sensitive than Men and are easily hurt by Love & Life ~ Your poem bears witness to this. Her advice was \"Never tamper with a Girl\'s affections ~ If you profess to love them ~ prove it in word and deed\" I took her advice and in my experience the more genuine TLC you give to a Lady ~ she repays tenfold in the unique way only a Lady can ! I love the hope in your final verse ~ she is knocked down by betrayal but ~ thank God ~ not knocked out and she rises above Man\'s ingratitude and betrayal. Thanks FAY we all need to be reminded of Man\'s inhumanity and a Lady\'s vulnerability in Life & Love ! Love every word of your poems and the illustrations ~ yours BRIAN

Yes Fay, it is real dark in the hole one is trying to dig out of, but once one reaches the top, there is sunshine.
Beautiful poem!

the third stanza stands out for me despite its rather gruesome content - where do the words come from? Super write.

Every tiny thing, an important cog in a large microcosm. It\'s says big things about a heart that contemplates the most dainty of miracles. Peaceful verse, Fay.

Just returned from a Japanese meditation garden - a superb garden in Nottinghamshire and this is something I could have read there in the tranquility .
