Every moment is wonderful as are your words, live each moment at its best they will not come again.

The cycle which is fundamental to everything, including the Universe, neatly captured there, Fay.
For me a great example of the way poetry in skilled hands can define a primary truth succinctly. Thanks.

The truth of learning to live a life of fulfilment. Learning to dance in the rain and the sun. This actually is quite touching, dear Fay. Your words built a physical construct there. I am moved. Thank you.

Currently withering and moaning about it LOL but deffo looking to a finer tomorrow.
Encouraging words from you. But the only way to believe is to live through the withering. you cant place an older head upon young shoulders after all.

What a wonderful poetry describing the mornings of winter
The season so well staged
And I truly resonate with these lines -
\"Time to get up Dreamyhead\" I suggest to myself
but please let the alarm clock
try waking me

Alarm clocks should come with a health warning, waking you up for no reason but work. Always wondered why I woke up at the weekend refreshed, strange.

\'Time to get up\' - oh the lethargic response which isn\'t me, but is - it takes breakfast plus an hour to transform from a \'bleary dreamer\' to something close to human.
I relate to your rich poetry completely, Fay.

Oh yes... empathy. How I miss my days of purpose when to rise promptly was important and rewarding. A regular 6.30 riser in my days of work now finds my turning a blind eye to the day and resting/rotting away kidding myself I\'m healing. Though that has served to utterly confuse my body clock such that i have been up all night and shall probably retreat to sleep later this afternoon.
Your poem demonstrates your ability to charm pictures into your readers mindseye with a cosy warmth of a romantic reality. Such that take my vision to the simpler days of childhood and the relaxation of stories read aloud by practiced tongues.
Into my favourites.

Through the beauty of Fall with part dread, part relief of the winter that sends us indoors to fireplaces and hot tea. Maybe we would lose hope if we didn\'t think of the Spring to come! Something to always look forward to dear Fay.

I suppose that\'s the thing with global warming. Leaves are staying on the trees longer, and flowers are coming out too early. Now, will there be snow.

A phot of babe in arms of mother stood next to grandmother and again great grandmother by her side. The four seasons of humanity..... so ran my thoughts upon reading your piece and that wonderful picture.
Grandmothers are wonderful in their autumn glory, each cast off leaf a treasure of memory.
I never knew my grandparents but i want to be the best grandpa friend to my grandchildren.
Beautiful poetry, yours, evokes beautiful thoughts Fay.

there\'s something comforting, knowing
this cycle of seasons we depend upon, rely
upon each other as well, maybe
when we too, can learn
to utilise that level of Trust
between each other, we may finally
understand the true meaning, of existence,
(thanks for sharing, dear Fay
a read that\'s sure to put someone in a contemplative mood)

I remember this lovely metaphor from a while back. Still as potent as it was on first reading and so memorable.
I tried writing on the same subject before reading your piece, I gave up because you completely said it all for my mind.

Good write Fay.
I feel that the form of the first stanza pictures a brook growing. Then the second stanza is the same width throughout, showing the brook knowing itself as a brook.

You took my thoughts to the life of and living as a field mouse. Acknowledging the change in season and preparing for survival of the next season..... all instinctive too.... such wonders of nature we overlook with our busy technical living.
Thank you for taking my mind to the fields of November where i once strolled feeling winters approach in my nostrils mindful of natures turn.
