Tis true words filter through the rock and seep to wells deep below. Until man has a social revolution equal to his technological we will continue a brute species where our capability to inflict damage excels our ability to do good. Humanity has long been in wait of a paradigm shift toward unity and love.

Damn, Rik! Four short lines, and now I\'m contemplating an entire lifetime of unfinished business! LOL! I suppose that\'s what I get for opening one of your poems before I\'ve finished my coffee. Well done, my friend! š¹š¤ššÆļøš¦āā¬

Rik, you\'ve certainly given my brain a workout with this one! LOL! I love a good paradox, especially when it challenges what we take for granted. That business about striking at a cloudless sky got me thinking. What exactly are we fighting when there\'s nothing there to fight? Quite the question, my friend! š¹š¤ššÆļøš¦āā¬

I have so many of these discarded ideas, starts to poems never finished, phrases without a finishing line, sentences without a following thought all stuffed away with not only dust but cobwebs and spiders guarding. Even the string is rotting. A great short Cryptic

A quiet and calming poem yet action is implied. And what action how does one fly and float in drifts how does one brandish but a hilt and harder yet strike the sky ( I suppose if one is pedantic all about us is sky, anything above the ground). If one is in the shadows whispering it is for a hidden reason to come out of them is to be seen. Yet all this seems sleep oriented, flying in drifts, striking the sky dream like fantasies, to come out of the shadows but to come out of sleep where one hears reality better (possibly). Leaving one\'s shoes on is to but nap not sleep and as for yesterday hiding today that is in dreams. Yet there seems another meaning here in the very format the steplike single worded preceding lines. Away, go, back, come, leave, alone, today. The process of dreams and sleep that comes and goes today could be the awakening for one always awakens to today. It seems a poem within a poem a double helix so to speak one corresponding to another. Very creative and nice Cryptic

Such a Contrast between the \'Fading Summer Light\' and the \'Hound of The Baskervilles\' around the corner.
Short and delightful.

What a lovely little piece, Rik! Reminds me of childhood summers when every corner of the yard held another adventure...though I might reconsider that particular expedition if the dog looks hungry! š Loved it, my friend! š¹š¤ššÆļøš¦āā¬

Hello, arqios,
A very plesant scene with a somewhat vicious conclusion. Expeditions yet to start when comes the corner dog - careful what you wish for perhaps in this intriguing and succinct gem. Excellent!
Wishing you much happiness,
Tony.

My mind wanders through words of metaphor here. Illusions? As I put them out I may well be judged as insane but already having been deemed so I have little to loose. My summer light has already faded but when in those late summer hours of beginning Fall, those deck boards were my platform, what I had constructed, yet under it all there were still dreams of future expeditions. Around my corner lurked Cerebros the guard of the doors of Hell salivating in wait for me.

\"Each horrizon. Preparing the next\". Great ending. To me it explains the serenical natural order of things and of course a vacation to remeber.
