Thank you wigopa. I like her voice in this song too, it has a catch in it that is very moving.

Lol Taps - you do mean trees, not knees? I doubt the bayou would admit it but I may be forced to agree with you:)

Slow but sure ..
It just takes a bit longer when the place of safety turns out to have been a little fragile.

Hi Sam, glad you liked it... I lost the first attempt and hoped I'd remembered it.

Thanks for visiting... I hadn't thought of it this way... the pieces may well still fit, even if the container is a bit older now:)

Oh, yes. I like that song too. If I were writing the poem though, I would write:
...you are my cypress knees,
you are my spanish moss,
but the whole bayou? no, no!
and its definitely your loss.

Very beautiful. The thing about picking up the pieces is that they still fit. Peace blessings and understanding.
