Coupled It takes the tweak of time To change circumstance, to go through Nature’s auspice of secret maneuvers That transforms winds, varying light With shadows, tricking spring into more Months of cool, moist trickles, And hold off summer heat Until just Now… Never have I seen cherry trees so laden, Or peach limbs so heavy with abundance, But the apple tree… Hardly had a blossom to show this spring, No pinkly white, nor light of buzzing Bees to see blossoms spread, It was barely flowered, It was not every buds season….but for two. Just these two, who grew to find Each other.  They are connected, conjoined, Browns holding greens, green to green, All under blues, and light, and shadow, Heat, and coolness… They live together, warm days through cool nights… Evertouching And their scent? They alone fill the air With the fragrance of knowing Their kin…if only in Each other. I think I will not separate them… They appear too steadfast, as if separation Would cause them to wither And die, So I shall let nature take her course, Let them live their lives fully, Conjoined, for their lives… In their own world… In their own time.

I think I will not separate them… They appear too steadfast, as if separation Would cause them to wither And die, So I shall let nature take her course, Let them live their lives fully, Conjoined, for their lives… In their own world… In their own time. These words alone....these alone....would be enough to make this poem a transcendant beauty. You KNOW, know what is right and good. |

Should you ever doubt your writing Read this picture you are citing Blossom petals are not kiting But your verse is most exciting No one captures a moment, with bird or tree or baby, quite like you. Well done!! Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

So aware of your world, and nature. This is as perfect as the picture of the “two.” Beautiful poetry from your heart and mind. Very enjoyable. JL  |

Yes, you are precious like PS said -- I love the way you see things the rest of us would probably miss, and then write about them so beautifully, opening our eyes! jo |

This is so very lovely... more so, even, than branches burdened with blossoms. *S* |

fantastic write, but now that you've personified apples it'll be awhile yet before I can bite into one without hearing it scream "tell her(the other apple)I loved her!" |

I absolutely love the way you see things and write about them. It's as if you care for everything around you as a goddess of nature. I think you surely are....amazing. Love, Reg |
