This is a lovely reflective piece, JeJe - it's all about transformation - and I can't help but wonder if there's a bit of metaphor in there in regards to human thoughts and emotions.

Thank you so much Ahavati for your lovely comments and astuteness  .. a gentle touch of a metaphor  ... humbled and honored by the add to your RL ♡x

lovely imagery - beautifully composed

Thank you so much SweetOblivion for your lovely comments  .. greatly appreciated

Wonderful poetry, jemac. Your imagery is beautifully - that final stanza really did it for me! :)

Thank you so much NewBeginnings for the beautiful comments... humbled and honored by the add to your RL  ... greatly appreciated

Of course, Jemac! It was my pleasure - and keep up the great writing :)

Sublime. 🙏🏻💖 I would love it if you would record an audio of this and send it to the podcast. I could see it a capella or with a bit of soft music playing, perhaps just the sound of leaves tousled by the wind. If you would be amenable, please include the title and your screen name and send to:

undergroundoutloud@outlook.com

Member participation is the life's blood of the podcast, so I hope you will consider it.

Namaste.

Daniel, thank you so much for such thoughtful remarks ♡ i only have my phone at the moment and am not completely sure how to an audio file .. I would enjoy sharing  .. if you could share tips in that regard, I would appreciate it .. or I'd be willing to give someone else the podium and mic.
Thank you in advance,
JeJe ♥️☮🕉

It is my sincere pleasure Jeje. I record on my laptop, using Audacity free software. There is vocaroo online recorder, which I used before Audacity. If you record and it doesn't sound great because of background noise, we have tools, namely through Audacity, to clean up the sound, so don't worry about that. Here is a link to vocaroo.

If you would rather one of us record your write, perhaps Missy, myself, Gahdess Worship or Josh, we can do that also. I think such a  superlative, soulful reflection would be a perfect addition, a peaceful oasis, between interviews and my rambling Spotlights😅.

In kind resonance,
Daniel

Thank you so much Daniel .. I will check this out. I appreciate your help. ♡ :))

My Friend,

Such engaging / captivating personification! For me, trees represent symbols of Life...having souls of their own!  And, as previous poets have commented, your strikingly vivid imagery truly enhances this aspect for me!  I find this piece to be both poignant and wistful.....and truly enjoyed the read!

Oh, thank you so much DarkEntrantress .. i wholeheartedly agree  ... there is no doubt that trees have souls as high as the sky and as deep as the core of earth herself ... we can learn so much from them if we weren't so quick to cut them down, or worse.

I appreciate your thoughtful comments!

Hey Jemac! Just wanted to let you know that I nominated this for the competition "Poem of the Month, January 2020"
Best of luck in the competition :)

Thank you so much NewBeginnings ... that was so very kind and thoughtful of you.

Jemac

You earned it 👍😉
