What a wonderful title sir .. and what follows, is a swathe of perfect green .. although maybe a paradox .. I found your words today to be relaxing, stimulating and refreshing ... just as a woodland walk should truly be .....

\'Reaching down into the cooler
stillness where I am earthed.
Crouching now amid the richness
of bracken\'s spring growth
I inhale the vibration of forestness.
Stillness.\'
the best compliment I have to offer
for this majestic traversing through nature
within wondrous brevity of poeticism, you\'ve weaved
is that, I almost thought this could have been penned
by our nature poetess supreme: Fay Slimm...
Brilliant! Dusk, back to your innately poetic best
in my humble opinion..
thank you for sharing!

(a great read Dusk
and thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply
and sorry if you don\'t like chocolate either
just a handy metaphor)..
some people only like milk chocolate
for all that meltingly sweet goodness,
some people like bitter chocolate, best
so they never forget and repeat that mistake,
but, maybe what is truly best
is that 70% cocoa: quality chocolate, of acceptance;
as brittle as any love,
but never as sickeningly sweet
as those romcom depictions
and yet, full of enough emotional sustenance
to allow us, to hope
while accepting, that romantic love
is merely: a single aspect of love
there\'s much more to life
than our track record, of romantic relationships..
for instance
there\'s all that alcohol chocolate
to drown our sorrows, in...

The love of my life passed away but I know what true love is and that love that I had for her will never happen again - but she is still with me in Spirit.

Neville said:


As the mist leaves no scar
On the dark green hill
So my body leaves no scar
On you and never will

Through windows in the dark
The children come, the children go
Like arrows with no targets
Like shackles made of snow ...

words courtesy of the late great poet LNC ... but seemingly most fitting here today .....

There are other types of love Dusk. For example, the love of sticky toffee pudding. Dont ever give up on love. Lovely poem

There isn’t a soul that isn’t raptured by the sound of music, as you have to cleverly used the title to show its hold on us.
Lovely indeed

these words of yours are so deserving of each of the positive comments made by every single one of my NINE reviewing predecessors ... I dunno how I managed to miss them before now ... glad I got here in the end though and happy to make up the number that coincides with the mark I would be inclined to award out of 10 .....

Here\'s hoping others will now follow in my wake ....

A great read. I love music and can\'t think of a life without music. Yes, you can find music all around you, in nature, in the song of the birds.

indeed, where would we all be without music

which makes sense to me..

Maybe you should call this “ music inspires and delights me “

Great poem anyhow 🙂 I love music although you be honest I probably don’t listen to it enough . The sound of birds is beautiful . Having music on can certainly help with writing ,

Yes , what would we do without music .

It’s amazing

Those times passed are so important to us all. I went out to dinner last night with a friend (first time I have eaten out for many months0 and he and I were talking about memories of the passed.

Wonderful memories d a.

A bittersweet exploration of memory and its loss. The past lives on only in our memories, and you highlight the fragility of those memories so poignantly.

Alzheimer’s- the robbed know not what’s gradually been stolen, but science is working hard to at least define, arrest and even reverse the cause.
