Ah - your honest appraisal of what illness can steal from those loving word-play dear Dusk and your work and supportive comments have been sorely missed --- good to see you posting again albeit to explain the challenges of ill health - - - I admire the metaphor you use in this ode where like a pool words can be caught and strung by poets - and you truly belong to that gifted group where linguistic expression flows freely my friend. - -- - Keep dangling those toes into the word-stream and am sending some big Cornish hugs breezing your way to help.

A wonderful reflection. It is in water that we seek wisdom, its form magical, still but always moving. It is soft and yielding but wears away the hardest substances. The best way to live
is to be like water
For water benefits all things
and goes against none of them
It provides for all people
and even cleanses those places
a man is loath to go
In this way it is just like the Tao (Lao Tzu, 2001, p.21) Great write.

there were shadows

A snapshot frozen in time. This also evokes something far deeper, a feeling spiritual, if you would. The sun is often used as a representation of a greater power (not necessarily religious) but an archetype if you would. Those final lines leave me wondering if that archetypal image gives that feeling that the race is not over and is still being observed at a higher level.

She was extraordinary. I seldom give much notice to world leaders but even across the world and not under British rule she caught my attention and I found her loveable. A nice tribute.

You know it took her \"going\" to ensure her legacy. For a bloody royal, she was a human being to the end. Now she let\'s us show her the respect she showed us all while she was still with us. Thanks for sharing your reaction... peace to the Kingdom tonight.

this old upturned boat
sorenbarrett said:
The image is so perfect, that of old boards. The metaphor of a boat turned over and rest is magnificent. The very timing is evocative of peace. The weathered board tell of so much experience. This is a wonderful piece.

I am so inspired by your use of personification and the invitation seems like an old romance of days gone by but being lived again. A favourite for me and which brought tears to my eyes Dusk.

That prayer to starlight did it for me Dusk - - holding off the future by thoughts of beauty struck home - we really need to know stars just keep shing whatever happens around them - - thanks for such a brilliant lesson

Barefoot on the freshly cut grass, your poem evokes the aromatic nature of nature, along with reminding us of a whole world beneath our feet.
