Oh my goodness to discover yet another beauty of yours and lucky me..on the same day..One in the early morn and one as evening settles in the mountains..
The idea that somehow life goes on...as my Forevermore poem says... about my own death.
Sharing ones heart..ones love while able to is so important.. even little things matter..and knowing that can make a difference to the way ones days are lead.
Life is but a moment ...and each moment needs to be made aware of.. Keeping our hearts open to love is the key.
This I believe,
Lisa

This is beautiful, I love these lines.. the birds will sing and take to wing and poets’ words live on “ this is like a love letter to your sweetheart.. very romantic I also like “The rain will fall and trees grow tall, life goes on, it’s true, so, while on earth,
for what it’s worth,
I’ll share my heart with you.
Nice imagery and flow throughout.

Not only creation that zings the imagination, such lovely views... but also your usual polite address to form.. seems even so, immensely natural as well as academic.

You display and teach so subtly, Richard. One day, when really brave, might try again! Til then, bravo!

I can't pretend to review with the skill that some of my peers are able to Richard, but I can recognise a darn good poem when I see one, and this is one of those. Love the structure, the rhyme scheme and the beautiful message of love contained in your stanzas. Great heartfelt sentiment and poetic expression. I particularly enjoyed the internal rhyme which works so well here. I like very much the idea that we tip toe through life and when we leave, everything will carry on without us in the world of nature. Happy new year.

May the ink in your skilled pen continue to flow to give your readers respite from the atrocities that seem to beset the world today. May it be the 'escape' the 'refuge' from its unpleasantness. Thank you for sharing beautiful thoughts through meaningful dialogue. May you and yours enjoy a delightful 2020.
