Simply Splendid!!!

The imagery set here is a mixture of beautiful nature and dark sadness...its a great combination.

You know I always love your writes and this piece was no exception, I loved the usage of animals and nature...the whole thing just felt so serene yet vividly powerful.

I hate critiquing work, especially when I love it so much...however, the first stanza had some flow issues...

I tried to tidy it up a little to how I feel it should sound, I'm not sure if you just had typing errors so...

Deep night calling, 'tween branches
of twisted rigor-mortise fingers, laced
with knowledge of who and why,
owls screech while mice
scurry, I whisper to glory;

I love love love the ending, it is so you...dear tree

And may the Great Spirit help guide them on their journey

I always love your nature pieces no matter the subject, but this one, I don't know, it just really touched me in ways I cannot explain...
