I've seen you in this barren space

Oh! What a great composition it is. So wisely and nicely depicted about the perspective of a tree. The favourite lines are..... I'm glad I came to this spot And spent this time with you. ...... How foolish I was to assume You were just a lonely tree. Many many thanks dear Loyd C, may God increase your poetic imaginatin.
Really enjoyed. My kind of poem written with imagination. Richard Netherland Cook
So meaningful especially with your notes and picture too. Thank You Loyd. Congratulations too on your book.
Music plays through my limbs When tickled by the breeze; Crickets and jar-flies serenade Nature's song in melodious ease......... Love these lines! Nature teaches us many valuable lessons. The lone tree never feels that it is lonely.... it sees many companions around! Man makes fuss over many things.... Even in a crowd, he is lonely! How happy we would be if we could develop the tree's perspective! A beautiful poem!
Insightful poem! It reminded me of Love's Philosphy by Percy Shelley...'Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine'. Thanks!
What a lovely poem. To look at life from a tree's perspective is quite amusing. No need to feel sorry for the tree - it has ample company. I just loved reading this, Loyd.
I loved it so much I also recited it too
