Sharon, loved this. I have written three poems about my fondness for trees. Check out sixth sense seduction and From where I stand. Trees tell many stories. But of course it is tree language. Allan

† Again, Sweet Beautiful Sharon, I Can Easily View Myself Within This Painting. To Take This Child's Truth A Bit Further; If My Own Life Were To Be As This Metaphor Then, A Branch Whom Never Truly Budded ? No Fruit, Just The Scorching Heat Beating Down Upon A Life Dependant; Waiting For Love's Gardener * Fast Forward: Countless Joyous Birds, Lodging Amid Mercy's Thriving Branches ˜ I Can Find Your Priceless Beauty Within This Picture, Too! Good To See You Again, Love, John

PS., "THE FAITHLESS DO NOT GET IT ? THEIR TOO BUSY CHASING AFTER DUST AND BEING BLIND........, IN THE GHETTO, AKA, PLANET EARTH BUT, AS ANY GHETTO, ONCE UPON A TIME IT WAS PRISTINE AND SPARKLING WITHIN BEAUTY * STILL BEAUTY REMAINS ALL OVER, YET THE HINGES SQUEEK OF NEGLECT AS ABUSE....................., AND THE PUPPET MASTER'S puppet masters PUPPETS ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW FURTHERING THEIR PART WITHIN SUCH ABUSE AND NEGLECT ¿ LOVE AGAIN AS ALWAYS, me *
