tree uprooted

dusk arising

 

On a long road travelled
another stone rolled
a tree uprooted
spirit without soul
distilled and separate
though not refined
rawness aches
unsettled mind

            • Fay Slimm.

              Words filled with chances to read, feel and empathize with life on a raw, aching road and the feel of sheer aloneness -- - a sensitive write that stays in the mind and heart.

              • dusk arising

                You are right, it does say a lot and is very sensitive. It's how i was feeling at the time, reflective and a little mystified. Always like to read your comments, thank you.

                      Keep them short and punchy - don't string them out.

                      Life can have all these problems thrown at you but they can be overcome when the mind eventually settles.

                      • dusk arising

                        And you Goldfinch are a shining example of your own words as being true as you say.
