A Mark Upon the Heart: A Response to Billybuc's Challenge

The image echoes an intriguing past. Your words captured the feel of the picture, but with this poem, you've taken it to another level. Perceptive and beautifully done.

Amazing words, sublime words, beautifully written , thanks!

Audrey, your words are profound and beautiful.

This is another one that I must write, but you raised the bar so high. I know it is not a competition but, your work makes me worry that mine would be good enough.

Blessings dear friend

When we see something that was built by man in what seems to be unspoiled nature, our imagination comes forward with many explanations :)

This is evocative, so few words saying so much. I very much like the reminder to the trees...

An awesome talent you have to so succinctly make words perform the magic we wish that all of us could.
