Some wonderful use of metaphors here like:-
To a pond that softly brooks and whispers,
Like nut-brown skin that lolls across
settees of dappled
sun.

You sum up perfectly the feelings of both siblings and parent. I could feel all those frustrations that give rise to emotions.

So beautiful and mysterious.

I enjoyed your poem Di, it had a lighthearted feel to it as I read. I could feel the cool air as the turbines rotate.
Relaxing read.
