"that moved in harmony with every breeze" I very much admire this line. A real gem it is. The rest is pretty good, too. Your works are quite accessible with wonderful clarity.
in the autumn of life, the colors shine most vibrantly...we are much like the trees, most noticed right before the culmination of life, just before our winter.
beautiful poem...makes me think of my mother...
thank you for this, Rita.

I guessed it before I read your note. What a nice idea? If I had such tree in my little garden too! However you've got a good sensitivity to the nature.

I really do love that tree - I hope my neighbors never cut it down! Thank you, Hansi!
Great use of metaphor. The change has not started in the deep south yet. You paint such a beautiful picture. After reading your poem, I can envision the trees changing when I close my eyes. You're so good!
