recovery

by Laura Doom

When
a tree falls
in the forest
and no-one hears
she
B
R
E
A
T
H
E
S

a sigh of relief
picks herself up
and resumes her position
as man's ultimate symbol of dignity

Dignified indeed Laura. A stick-work of ART. Truly. The simplicity is as profound as the tree is dignified. I love this beautifully painted image of SHE.

Yes, the ultimate symbol of dignity, her INDIVIDUALISM intact. She doesn't need crowds false sympathies, the cause of her fall. But then she should also learn to ignore and turn this crowd into nobodies.

What happens to the man tree when he falls? ~JPP

Finding dignity in the lifte cycle, including death, very cool expression, profound in its simplicity.

Now there is an interesting statement, set in a graphic display, while depicting the balance of nature. pe4ce...

Trees are awesome like that. I think its a lack of carbon dioxide. It makes them dizzy. Great read.

The imagery is perfect! This is a rather deep poem and I greatly enjoyed it.
