A Silent Witness Comments

Melancholic nostalgia … touchy … brings hush sigh … excellently [poetically] put me in the blind lane of reminiscence … Ms. Nivedita UK PS 10

very nice poem and a write from the core...........

Reflective, and poignant quilling, Ravi...Here in the U.S.A., this work would serve as a most apropos offering for tomorrow, in the U.S.A.Tomorrow, Monday, is Memorial Day in the United States, a day of a myriad emotions ranging from parades & cheering, to gravesite tears, prayer & homage in honour of those who laid their lives down for our Freedom, in every War since America won it's Independence over 230 years ago. I like the subtle morosity that sets the tone of this work from its get-go....However, the impact effect of the final stanza places an exclamation point on the entire piece.Stellar Work, Ravi. F j R

Silent yet stoic witness! A nice poem! Thanks for sharing!

If only trees can talk as in their shade we sit - comforted by it's strength and beauty. Walking along with this silent witness I visualize the past, the present and lamentations in graveyards and trains leaving stations will continue into our future too...'all are equal' if only man can accept this fact. Thank you for this tribute to trees and the message therein
