Posted by Mary Ellen Smith on 09/04/05 at 04:09 AM Yes, our lives and landscapes can be changed in just one moment. This will speak to many who have lost either...and really when you think of it, it is a timely poem as well...with the landscape forever changed in the south. |

Posted by Maureen Glaude on 09/04/05 at 04:49 PM so powerful and emotional - I've been here before, my love of certain trees and the memories of the dearest times with people, later marked by the loss. Beautiful work. My Martha's Tree on here might speak to you too, it's in my library or my archives section. |

Posted by JD Clay on 07/28/06 at 03:03 PM nostalgia stirred with emotional memories make for good poetry. The message I take from this is, love like the tree is a renewable resource yet both remain carved forever in our mind.
