Depending how you read this one, there can be a sinister aspect to the words. Well done!

yes...love only concerned with self...and its own life..scaring the life of the tree..decades later one wonders if the lovers still are one or if their love like the cut in the tree has scabbed over

ooooooooooooooooooh. ME LIKE! Now, oh Obiwan, please tell me, I see this as objective, even though it has rich metaphor and depth. Am I right? This IS objective, isn't it? I really liked how you did this. (A gift today. My girl is playing with her fisher price toys, HAPPY, and I am doing a bit of reading and commenting. It is so nice.) hugs and love, Dee
