Losing You
Neville said:
there are, at least in my mind, many kinds of love ... here you have more than adequately poemed several of them and superbly ...
again though, so many of my learned reviewing predecessors have hit the mark with their own take on your very fine offering .... x

Beautiful, Fay.
Dusk saw a shrub in a pot; I saw a lamp through some tears.

To me this is less about the kind of mystical thing that gets called love far too often, but about a deep and abiding care and respect which transcends anything which might be fleeting and can only be ended by external circumstance.
I confess to be totally caught by your well rounded account, Fay.

decades later and my training videos, loom back
larger than life
see, people wrongly assume when the fire is extinguished
so, the healing begins - when rather
its the opposite that occurs
for only, when that catastrophic threat of burning alive
is allowed to simmer, to the back of people\'s mind
do they then: begin
to feel and experience, the sheer horror
of what they\'ve just witnessed, endured
and mind-shatteringly: survived;
by the Fated whimsy
of the same Luck, that abandoned - all those
now, forevermore destined to be categorised
as mere casualties
to Mother Nature\'s insatiable flames: of Wrath...!

A mature love beautifully described and such a sad loss.
And all so well compacted into a uniform shape resembling a small shrub in a pot.
Today we see you very much alive and aware of the beauty surrounding us. Death has not taken you from this wonderful world.

Doggerel Dave said:
Thanks Fay. A richly worded piece.
I live in the middle of a heavily built up and populated city, on high ground. Flood, and fire (the subject here) are due to become even more endemic than they are already in Australia.
My bush-fire experience in the middle of last season\'s flames was extremely limited as the smoke pall outside my front door made even that step a health hazard.
Devastation and Government response unspeakable... I understand Hawaii was a nice safe spot....

I shudder at the thought and daydream of my asbestos pyjamas should fire strike at night.
I have seen how the lazy smoke dances on a chosen breeze as the knowing men tend their heathland fires. Never seen a forest fire though.
But truly you brought shudders here. More so than the disasrer fires we see on TV.

I have seen for my very self the devastation such fire can have and all around ..
I have seen for my very self the despair, shock and horror on the faces of those who have also witnessed such an event ...
and not so very long ago upon the moor when the annual controlled burning got all too swiftly out of hand ............
Exceptionally good Fay in my most humble opinion .........

Those who live and feel the changes also feel the rawness of nature\'s
uncompromising changes.
Several re-reads and I\'m wondering what Ive missed here within the easy flow.
