I opted writing a poem inspired by the photo below owned by Janek-Sedlar at DeviantArt. For the visually challenged writer, the image is of two bare, misshapen trees deep inside a forest, as described by Fandango.

Erected strong figures
Two entangled souls
Trying to survive
Dying to thrive
Never letting go
Closer and closer
Standing still
Yet unnerved, unable to breathe
Reaching for the heavens
Shaking the deterrence
Gasping for air
Gasp, gasp, gasp
The dreary eyes of the watcher
Went beyond and over
The sweet nonchalance
Steady like water
Don’t think I’ve seen you come up with a poem before, good stuff! I thought it was one guy with a hole in the middle 🤣.

Thank you.
My poetry days come and go…
And when it goes, it likes to stray for a while…
