WoW. WoW. and WoW. Not very literary of me to say but so descriptive of how I felt after reading this masterpiece. I could say awesome but that doesn't express my feelings quite as well as WoW. I would applaud but you cannot hear. So..... WoW, sir, Wow!
Beautiful poem. One haunting question asked by humans is that why suffering is there. To accept and reconcile with Nature's way is a way forward.
Really profound, I had to read it quite few times in succession to let it sink in. enjoyed IT, THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

Congrats for being on top of the order, Frank. Thanks. Where were you when the Maple trees cried? Where were you when their leaves fell and dried?
Before the air! With the ways of nature. Thanks for sharing.
