Helen, I've always been fond of thoughts extracted from nature. This was nicely done leaving some food for thought.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

"Asunder" is a great word. I absolutely adore this. I was trying to explain to a friend once, about death and the weird ass things that humans do and I told her that the leaves on the branches of trees don't argue that they were closest in proximity when one leaf falls... or maybe they do and I just don't hear leaf-language?  You are exquisite yanno.  |

Now I will forever feel guilty picking up a leaf by the stem, as it could be its umbilical cord! Ouch! Then I pressed it between wax paper for the girls school projects - me bad! Your poem - good! |

Helen, this is another fine piece that shows how connected you are to the 'roots' of reality. One to ponder this 'spring' afternoon. |

"aching separately the same," sigh ah yes, that's it isn't it. Good illustration. Eric |
