I've always loved language and poetry but started to get serious about it ten years ago.<br /><br />I still love retirement!<br />AnnAnn McNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582439307617238027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15809690.post-67108342826856356042011-06-28T09:19:16.065-04:002011-06-28T09:19:16.065-04:00What a beautiful poem!

When you're really at this point in your life, wonderful thoughts and ideas do happen. I'm happy that you're one of those who really enjoy retirement!Cara Larosehttp://www.sherwood-oaks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15809690.post-12492946418595440442010-03-13T11:47:42.696-05:002010-03-13T11:47:42.696-05:00Hi Ann,

They too will soon "boil" and disappear into something by another name and function. As Thich Nhat Hanh notes in the voice of a leaf, "I am the whole tree." And then with a burst of color, the leaf returns to earth soon to reenter the tree a new. <br />The wonder of clouds is that they are in a continuous state of being created and evaporating or raining out as the air that keeps their droplets aloft moves up through them. A form of dynamic equilibrium like that which maintains peat bogs, glaciers, and a whole lot else.<br />Thanks for sharing your poems,<br />TomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11646964707170519157noreply@blogger.com
