AN ADDITION ON OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE HAS LEFT ME REELING...AWAKENED BY BACK-UP ALARMS RAVAGING THE EARTH NEXT TO OUR HOME...CHAIN SAW SCREAMMING...DISASSEMBLING THE GIANT WHITE PINE TREES THAT HAVE COZILY SNUGGLED US INTO A FALSE SECURITY...NOW I FEEL NAKED...EXPOSED OPEN TO THE WORLD...NO MORE PRIVICY,SOFT FOOTED PINE NEEDLE PATH,BIRDS WANDERING ON MY ROOFTOP IN DAZED CONFUSION LOOKING FOR THEIR NEST...SO DISCONSORTING,UNSETTLING...I CRIED FOR THE "DEATH" OF MY BEAUTIFUL GREEN FRIENDS WHO HAVE SHELTERED US FOR OVER TWENTY SOME YEARS...WISTFULLY, SOFTLY BECKONING ME WITH A CARRESS AS I LOOKED UPON THEM...WHISPERING 'PEACE'...
IN A MATTER OF MERE MOMENTS...GONE. MY HEART ACHES...
