Have another read. I've added a pic I took tonight to an earlier one Added pic clarifies prose and interpretation So then, where are all the rest of you guys hiding? Open invitation to all readers - would love to hear from you. Why not share a favorite poem or perhaps one that touched you at a particular time of life. Like music or art - a pleasure to the senses. It's true that poetry can get lost in translation but that's what makes it unique. Each one can read into it what their emotions dictate. The Quiet World By Jeffrey McDaniel In an effort to get people to look into each other’s eyes more, and also to appease the mutes, the government has decided to allot each person exactly one hundred and sixty-seven words, per day. When the phone rings, I put it to my ear without saying hello. In the restaurant I point at chicken noodle soup. I am adjusting well to the new way. Late at night, I call my long distance lover, proudly say I only used fifty-nine today. I saved the rest for you. When she doesn’t respond, I know she’s used up all her words, so I slowly whisper I love you thirty-two and a third times. After that, we just sit on the line and listen to each other breathe. |

So then, where are all the rest of you guys hiding? Ok, here's how I discovered Edgar Allan Poe's classic "The Raven" it was thanks to this episode of the Simpsons .Of course it is abridged, and nowhere near as complete as Sir Christophers recital which is hair tingling! Open invitation to all readers - would love to hear from you. Why not share a favorite poem or perhaps one that touched you at a particular time of life.    |

 Tonight over Yorkshire (from the standard kit lens ! 1:1) I'm endlessly fascinated by it A stillness A constant but temporarily missed presence Hope in it's brightness in the dark It sits above earthly troubles It just makes me want to smile + with it's distance another global thing we can all share in today I took it about 8pm BST just before the ISS traced across my bit of Sky at 20:10 - 20:12 Sometimes you have look upwards for a while Night Dave [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Oct 17, 2013 10:44:31 PM] |

LITTLE WING
----------------------------------------Well, she's walking through the clouds, With a circus mind that's running wild, Butterflies and Zebras, And Moonbeams and fairy tales. That's all she ever thinks about. Riding with the wind. When I'm sad, she comes to me, With a thousand smiles she gives to me free. It's alright, she says it's alright, Take anything you want from me, Anything. Fly on little wing. James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix |

"Wildflower"
----------------------------------------Quiet hour You have always been my wildflower Showing up wherever beauty's lost its way Your heart must break I was free Until I heard the song you sang me to me Pulling me away from everything I knew To be with you And everything I know just fades away And every time you go it hurts me so I don't know why when I know we're free Free to fly Here we are Burning faster than the closest star Falling back down to the Earth I love you so it sometimes hurts Closer still You will find me standing on the hill Waiting for you with my arms stretched open wide Now, come inside And everything I know just fades away And every time you go it hurts me so I don't know why when I know we're free Free to fly And everything I know just fades away And when a wildflower grows it picks its space And that's the way it is when nature plays its lovely hand We'll understand everything Everything By Ms. Crow |
