In the yard, a bare tree, like a whithered hand reaches to the heavens as if in lament for the death of her children which lay fallen on the grass below. |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Raphael, this is a very haunting vision, sweet friend, when I was a little boy I thought I would die when the winter came as all the trees seemed like tombstones to me and skeletons out to get me! (sad sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Raphael, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I love when trees get personified. I wrote a peice similiar to this a long time ago. Funny, the different ways people look at winter. Some see death, and coldness, others see purity and innocence. Good job |

AAAWWWW, I like this Raph. It's like a Mother is crying for her children. "Love makes the world go around" |

wonderful imagery of winter. I too write as if leaves are alive so I could relate to this. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Aenimal~ I positively love the poignancy of the imagery in this piece~ You painted with word-thoughts that would look wonderful on a canvas~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
