Come, Tomorrow things happen in my quiet right now, I look over my left shoulder through the blinds at the cottonwood left behind when the house was built in the very early 60's bare of limb and bared of bark where the squirrels wrested away nourishment this long winter, I examine from my warm room and comfortable chair the many branches reaching out there under the leaden gray sky… each branch having begun as a twig of hope, reaching… waiting for the coming of the morrow, when they would hold, under the turning roof of azure and cobalt, a green sprout of leaf, a young robin trying its wing, and clinging to the rain as it dripped on by its broad base the playground of squirrels, a harbor of food for the redheaded woodpecker, finch and 'jay, who also find their way to play among its leaves come, tomorrow, when growth of green will bring promise of the fall, heavy laden of leaf and berry, cascading soft snow in June's sunlight, lending branch to new birth, giving fresh worth as staunch its root in God's good earth things happen on the morrow when I look out again on a season of change alone I will view the cottonwood, knowing, knowing things happen come tomorrow |

this speaks of hope and spring love it  Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

quote: i believe this is my favorite work of yours thus far, SunshinyOne.... it is a perfect picture..... so well done in flow, imagery... succinct, with a pull on the emotions... a truly awesome read.... i love the image of the robin "trying" wings..... so lovely, so real, so human, so full of truth, retrospect, future, all of it... it's very good. thank you for allowing me the pleasure of reading this. (((hugs))) |

each branch having begun as a twig of hope, reaching… waiting for the coming of the morrow, when they would hold, under the turning roof of azure and cobalt, a green sprout of leaf, a young robin trying its wing, and clinging to the rain as it dripped on by its broad base the playground of squirrels, a harbor of food for the redheaded woodpecker, finch and 'jay, who also find their way to play among its leaves come, tomorrow, when growth of green will bring promise of the fall, heavy laden of leaf and berry, cascading soft snow in June's sunlight, lending branch to new birth, giving fresh worth as staunch its root in God's good earth things happen ======================== outstanding imagery here Sun ... wonderful blending of nature, memories and inner reflections ... very well done poetess golden ... "come tomorrow" ... "things happen" very cool turn of phrase for "seasons change" superb writing We're living in a world full of illusion Everything is so unreal My mind is in a state of confusion But I can't deny the way I feel ~Depeche Mode~ |

Sunshine, the right piece to greet the beginning of spring. I don't know the protocal here, so I will plunge in a bit. You let ings creep into the end a bit too much for my taste. Those a pet peeve of mine. Thanks. Gary |

Beautiful promise of great things to come. Things will happen. Lovely! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

There is indeed hope for all of us...if the squirrels don't get us first! I'm sorry, Sunshine...that is no belittling of your poem, believe me...you know how I feel about your writing and this one is among the best... still buddies?  |
