The subject of survival. Alhtough your poem is much more eloquent, Shirley, it reminds me of one I wrote called the “Gathering” about a wolf pack. This is one of the stanzas:
“Some would declare such a chase horrible and inhuman.
There are no rules, when it comes to natures balancing game.
It is by design not by ethics; life is taken and also sustained;
A lifecycle whereby many benefit from the one that is slain.”

I can’t say, but hope springs eternal, doesn’t it? Nice one…

I love the rhythm and flow of this. (Oh boy! Now let’s see if I get my patchwork icon…can you tell I don’t get out much?)

Thanks Jo. This is one of my favorites. I know what you mean…my site is beginning to look like a patchwork quilt! I don’t have a clue when that started or why but that’s quite a brainstorm you got going on there!

Thanks, Bob. And, I feel very fortunate to know two very smart guys named Bob. I would think it easier for the world to survive without us than without trees!

I really like how you purvey your wisdom through the acts of nature. It shows an understanding of both human and non-human relationships that never occur to many of us. (By the way, this is Bubba, not the smart Bob.)

Wow! Look how wordpress puts little designs in when we don’t have icons. That one looks like my brain when I’m storming. Zzzzzzt! lol.

What a nice thought… it’s comforting to think that those lights who’ve left us continue to shine and will one day be seen again. Thanks for this, Shirley.

“We’re cold, it’s true, as you can see,
from my gray and homely tone,
but beauty just might lie beneath
A richness mine alone.
I can’t return your outward heat
Nor ape your gentle breeze,
But leave me lying in the sun
And my warmth is sure to please.”

Heh! Oh, well, I tried… Nice one, Shirley… spring can’t be far away.
