Hey Robert, how are you? It's been a while since I've read you, but you've overwhelmingly made up for lost time. I wholeheartedly agree with everyone here, this by far eclipses anything you've ever written. What a pleasure it is to be among such caliber of writing!

I have never read a more haunting and more captivating description of a tree. Indeed, a poet can relate to it at so many levels, most of all its resilience in the face of time. To me, there is nothing more enchanting than a tree, whispering, waving and sometimes weeping. Like poetry, a tree has an immortal essence and it never really dies.
A poem so good to read today. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙋♀️💕
A true Poet writes what he or she feels... I know my toes curl up sometimes like knots on a tree limb;
however, I prefer flowers in Spring to walk upon. Lovely that you have healed so well to be poetically inclined. tenderly, Pat

Having grown up around sidewalks such as this makes this poem even more relatable. And now its symbolism and metaphorical reach comes to the light through your splendid poem. Truly delightful. TFS.
I can definitely identify with these words BB. A great picture and an inspired write for sure. That could probably be my facebook photo these days...lol. Great work!

I am still slogging around:/ LOL you remind me I have got to change my picture it's been a while I don't think it will be as pretty as that tree stump tho, but then again who can compare?

This is a truly brilliant poem
I loved it all
The fact that you can still see and hear the leaves swaying is true
It’s like a soldier who loses a limb
He remembers and thinks it’s there
I love this
Yes what some see as an intrusion. With sap dripping on cars, or autumn litter sticking to windshields. The seer sees only the beauty and the gift that nature is no matter where it grows or grew.

I think I love the beauty of resilience in the face of adversity so very much
Olde as a tree. And the paper you pen upon was once a tree, that tried to grow where you were nearly laid ~ from the grave you were thankfully free. But seeds of progress, fertilized by society, grew in the dust of words at the foot of the stone. The seeds were sown indifferent as bone ... I believe this is what I see.
