The leaves of change

Who knows
where love falls
but it's not
too far from
the tree.

An excellent analogy. Love has deep roots in the soil. It can grow tall or short in some space. It might go through the seasons of life. It might have birds that nest in it. Leaves that fall.
Long live the Emperor!

This could be read in several ways: People usually do have a lifelong affinity for the place they were born. They are also likely to fall in love and settle down with someone from the same area, or somewhere not far away. But then there are those who live nomadic lives, moving around from place to place, and they are more likely to find a partner or mate from somewhere other than their own birthplace. I have lived in the same part of West Yorkshire, England all my life (all within a 5-mile radius). And although my wife and her family lived in Australia for 9 years, she was born within that 5-mile radius, and she returned there! So, in my case love has indeed fallen not far from the tree! As you can see, I can certainly relate to your poem, Andrew!

dear Andrew.. was it Joyce Kilmer that wrote about a Tree. Her Poem describes why Love could easily fall from a Tree. I love your Poem, Andrew... it is almost a Haiku... tenderly, Pat

I looked him up a welsh poet, great writings

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, Andrew… “I shall never see a Poem as lovely as a Tree”…. “. I do believe your Writings are Beautiful as well. truly, Pat

Leaves fall at random and I guess love is just as random. We don't choose it just happens and in its own time. Much like when a leaf cascades from a tree. Nice thoughts here Andrew.

THank you Chris for your words, it I see rather random.
