You and Me as Trees
On the back part of our land
where I'd never walked before
I saw you and me as trees
Trunks too close together
yet each one growing straight.
At the top, they leaned into one another
and mingled branches
sharing the sun and sky.
I smiled to think of their roots
down under the leaf blanket.
November 1, day of the Very Much Alive. For Big Stuff. Who else?

I love how you celebrate the Day of the Very Much Alive. A deep consideration of the roots of trees, and of love. Oh yes, that mingling down under the leaf blanket.
Sweet. That's all. Sweet.
Haven't heard of the Day of Very Much Alive. Interesting concept.

Simply stated and just lovely.
Never heard of the Day of the Very Much Alive -- but that is a lovely poem and beautiful imagery!
Buenas el dia ante de el dia por los vivos mas!
Jules, you have the most romatic soul and great photos and poem. Lucky family!
On the Day of the Very Much Alive: I made up that holiday. In Mexico, November 1 is the Day of the Dead, when people leave candy and candles on the graves of their loved ones, and celebrate them as if they were still among us.
You can celebrate the Day of the Very Much Alive any way you want. Walking in the woods, calling your mom and telling her you love her, mingling roots... whatever applies.
I love your work, your blog....and that your an emphatic leo....me, too--and I am also an artist, naturalist and writer...with and thing about birds and dogs...pleased to meet you!

Sorry to be commentor #47 but your fans are faster on the trigger than yer hubby.
Thanks darling. But one question:
Can I be the tree with the thinner trunk?
