Fortuity? The lightning streaks across the sky Two trees fall to the ground Some say that if no one is present, there is not a sound I wonder if somebody screamed, and no one came around If they would still believe in something, that is this profound? A falcon floats up high above, three otters share a drink The trees are in the river and they slowly start to sink So many pine cones now adrift, released from nature’s grip So many more are trapped, as branches quickly start to slip The ones that have their freedom, now no longer have to stay Their on a journey that will take them, near and far away Bobbing up and down the riffles, heading toward the falls Coursing through the eddies, as the turtle starts to crawl Rushing through the gauntlet, of a boulder riddled brook Many cones are hindered, as they lodge within the crook Rushing out into the sea, one seed from each is left They ride the waves until they come, back crashing, in the cliffs They finally lay upon the soil Their voyage finally done They start to settle in their roots, and drink up nature’s sun They stand together tall and proud, and guard the river wide They reach unto the heavens As the hawk lets out a cry |

“fortuity or fate?” Very good Dawn! You get an A + It’s always nicer to make one think, then to just give up all the goods.. Thanks Dawn, I hope you’re having a nice day! Richy |

I believe in fate...and this was a nice stroll down by your river of imagination, so deep the water was waist high...I forgot to put my fishing boots on.... Pretty big fish there....hard to eat in just one bite.... ~ARH  love and hugs Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart, let me come in and show you love.....~ARH |

Hi Romantic Heart! Yeah for the deeper pools, you might want to try a pair of waist high fishing waders, the ones with the suspenders... Oh, and if you have a net handy, maybe I could borrow it? You weren’t kidding about these big fish... You know you‘re right though, fate definitely would be the more romantic way to look at things... I’m glad you enjoyed the stroll!  |

Dear Richy, I very much enjoyed your ride down the river and the conclusion: They finally lay upon the soil Their voyage finally done They start to settle in their roots, and drink up nature’s sun They stand together tall and proud, and guard the river wide They reach unto the heavens As the hawk lets out a cry Nature’s harmony and balance is one of the most fascinating processes that can be observed, I think. Even though some events fill us with melancholy. You have done a great job here! Fortuity? Fatality? Life’s journey ... mysterious, but always fascinating. Love, Margherita |
