An excellent nature poem throwing light on nurturing of different trees in garden along with transplantation of a few for their healthy growth and the aura exerted by the nature as also trees on the onlookers visiting it. Congratulations on well deserved poem of the Day.

The title of the poem is well chosen, appropriate. I particularly liked the third and the last stanzas. One needs to think over, after reading each stanza of the poem. I appreciate the poetess's deep insight.

But if to be spared, if to move across that border and find the dove tree astonishingly depleted but still rooted to its site, is this, then, the law of continuity? Realistic thoughts, congrats!

See! However much the human desires to be all by himself, would the nature be in agreement? No way. Because, nature's responsibility is much wider. Still, mother nature will not stop being watchful on his intrigue attempts against her will. A beautifully penned poem with a profound message. Thanks for sharing.Congrats for being the member's PoD.

The trauma of removal and disruption and displacement by aliens all portrayed as they work in the natural world so well used as the metaphor for our own lives.

Brilliant lines- I look away from what has been transplanted, removed and replaced: ........ (but) all that had been uprooted in its time // excellently penned

A brilliant overlay of non-sentient nature allowing us a clearer perspective of the forces that shape our own anthropic conduct and history. To bring the spectrum of humanity down to the microcosm of movements of plants in a garden, then flip the lens around so that we might see ourselves in such an interplay of natural forces is somewhat arresting, albeit profoundly intriguing.
