This is deep with a message, and at four in the morning it\'s going to come to me. I\'m thinking, the sky is a lover in waiting.

Good question. Then, we must ask, is the sky REALLY a sky without the sun or the moon. What are we looking at here, where have we gone... :P

Ah, that word again.

For me the sky is blank music manuscript... a backdrop to the score of life under which our dance steps play out our existence.

Reminds me of the stories I heard of the seafarers of eons past, who were entertained by the poets on their torturous voyages, many meeting their ghostly ends, so brought to life by your pen

\'flimsy she might sail ..
Yet in her wake, I thought I heard
sad shanty songs\'..
back in days, when ships
were warded off evil spirits
by tattooing a lady\'s
name or sculpted image
at their bow,
now we dwell in progress
that no longer deals in spirits
and so no more fortune\'s, ladies
to adorn our ships
or hopes;
just curses of luck
be it fleeting good
or tolerated bad, that lingers...
(love how brilliantly you captured
that whole melancholic feel
and seafarer characterisation
in such few words)
showcasing exemplary Brevity in Poetry
a masterful write, dear Poet
and you write it all so unassumingly accessible
makes us all think, its so simple
till we try to emulate and fail, lol

Something that scents the air often brings someone special to mind and so do your words dear Nev. - - - they abound with tender nostalgia and times that can never return --a sigh of a read my friend..............x

One wouldn’t recall, nor could they be stirred if those memories hadn’t been stored, as you have so lovingly recited

Wish I could say you\'ll stop feeling sad but you probably won\'t.... but then again, every time you think of her she is alive again.
