Is this estrangement self-imposed
or does my awkward rapture
set me aside?
More engaged in recording nature
than in ordinary banter –
find the portal to human interaction
passing questionable
throngs focus on such peculiarities
while I attempt sketching relations
trees akin to cousins,
and birds happily possessing my soul
we are escapees –
alternate beings
charged with renewal.
(Sketch my own)
The sketch is superb…..and I believe that we are all looking for portals…..

That is definitely a world tree.
Trees just are. And so we can just be instead of constantly questioning it. (K)

Interesting take. I believe we always want to escape the inevitable rather succumb to it, myself included. I think when we let go and be, there we are free. Cycles….

Sketch is bellisima. I am with you I find human interactions questionable at best but I could sit in nature all day long. I feel closer to nature than to humans. Your poem and sketch is wonderful. brava
