You have phrased this so aptly, the feeling of being close to a living creature, and yet not noticed. It works on so many levels no matter who we are sharing the space with. A very thought provoking write my dear Rocky!

I have weathered so many hurricanes I have lost count, of holding in windows as they bowed in and having power out for weeks on end. The clean up and repair. I remember being out walking through category 2 storms at night, watching for flying objects. They are truly one of natures wonders, not one that is desired.

I always have been intrigued by haikus and only wish I knew how to wright one in Japanese. This one intrigues me as well since I have viewed this image in reality many times it evokes many images and feelings. At times attempts to aid are not noticed and fear takes precedence. Loved it.

The use of punctuation should make it feel slow but instead the bird’s movement seem dynamic. Very impressive!

A beautiful contemplation dear Rocky, such a fitting title. What a respite our dreams can be, with a little hope thrown in for good measure.

A reclusive excursion and projection, the bird being an image reflecting what occurs within regardless of the exterior. Awesome!

All dreams need just a little water to spawn germination and a little more for growth. Find an oasis in the desert of life. I think I loved the most the last two lines.

Like I have said before Rocky,

Dreams are but those stepping-stones
that form a temporary bridge
Between conscious here and now
and the subconscious where and when ..

Where blurring occurs between our
wishes, wants and needs ..
Yet where faith, hope, love and peace
still each unconditionally resides ..

I think you have done good here Rocky ............ Neville

\"The helpless peninsula\" is such a true depiction of emotion, not just of the peninsula at the onslaught, but even of the human emotion in the face of such fear and terror. Your words are a motion picture of the unravelling scene sir. Very well penned my brother.

I can feel the restlessness or let me say all going upside down type of moments that asks us to take a break .....refresh and come back to life .....I liked the way you painted everything in our life. In such moments we all look this way only.
I hope I got you right.

I am so glad you are safe my friend & that you felt able to write about your personal experience here ..

I visited New Orleans soon after Katrina hit a while back and despite hearing about the chaos and carnage caused around the world by previous hurricanes, nothing could have prepared me for what I found there .. and so I can imagine how accurate your fine poem today truly is ..

Take care & I pray also for all those affected by this most recent disaster .. Neville

Motherland - Mother Earth - happening all over. You are not unique.
But you have managed to give voice to the devastation and the accompanying fear involved. So very real.
Good write, Rocky.

Dear Rocky, so glad that you are safe and relatively unscathed. This poem truly captures the devastation and horror that Floridians are experiencing. I\'ve seen footage on the news akin to the photo, and it\'s hard to imagine that what, on the surface, appears stable and secure can be wiped out in a matter of hours, minutes. It will get worse unless we can come together, to accept the reality of our impact on this earth. Everything is connected, we are all connected. God bless and take care. Welcome home!

What a way to welcome you back Rocky. Hope you and yours are ok. All my folks down in Florida are okay. Good to be reading you again, albeit the topic wasn\'t too exciting and quite sobering.

This one is so neat. The feeling of straining to have that certainty between life and death using nature\'s beauty, gracefulness, and brutality is worth a mention. You justified it well, Rocky. Well penned!

\"Boundless waters stretched their limbs as if braced for a sacrifice\" - Your words are vivid pictures my friend. - Better yet, pictures strive to clearly depict what you say in words. - Also, there\'s so much depth of meaning about the self, praying for paradise, before reaching the edge. A picture of the inward out, painted in words. It speaks! - Well penned, gifted one!
