History remains the same throughout; only Ladies and Men\'s fashions change. A Poem well said.

At least you realize you\'re pretending to belong. My mind is perpetually carving out niches for me where I\'ve never belonged nor can, the inhabitants of wherever looking askance at me. This being a stranger on earth is my normal yet I keep thinking I belong. Gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery and a haunting poignancy, its ability to resonate swallowing me whole. Thank you very much for sharing.

Hey this poem is better than anything I could write,Very powerful images here with minimal effort.I see a party where the usual guests arrive and immediately play the usual games and irritate the host. I enjoyed reading

This poem carries with it a sense of an existential voyage beyond the shores of comfort and in that foreign land the discomfort and the questioning of where home is. A great metaphor for a life\'s journey leaving a feeling of uncertainty, a wistful sense of longing for the unfound and a general sense of being lost on foreign shores. Maybe I project too much. Very nice my friend

I sense the story of a lady of the night,a lost soul going through the motions yet wishing they were elsewhere, wanting somewhere to belong and call home, but not knowing where home is, apologies if i am wrong, enjoyed the read

Something so Wonderful just looking Up and Seeing light that took Centuries to reach us.
An Astronomer last year said the Film \'Titanic\' made him angry because when Rose was in the Sea looking at the Stars: She would not have seen those Stars because of her Position in the World. The Film Makers put any old Configuration on the screen. But picky I think. A very Deep poem.

What is history but a memory. How valuable are mementos? To each his own. As like many other important questions there is no right answer. A fave for the depth of the thought in this piece

A pleasure to read, with a very abstract, thoughtful nature that I like. Has some great lines, like \"foliage alive, in rhythmic undulation\".

Funny, huh? Charming and so beautifully rendered with haunting imagery whose delicacy appeals, inevitably, with a lingering poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

There\'s a different romance to the darkness, and then again, there\'s perspective. Where one sees charming vistas another sees misery. Shall you remind me of, \"... that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us: for in Him we live, and move, and have our being;...\" (Acts 17: 27-28a)? Regardless, put on the kettle and I hope you find an ability to enjoy it, no? Beautifully rendered with exquisite imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Your poems always make me think. Besides the beautiful images created by your poetic words there appears a message here. My view is that the (wind) that stirs the thought that then (dances) the light goes off and thoughts (shift) though the darkness of the mind there is a (ripple) in the words (whispers) emerge then thoughts liberated (glide) unimpeded as a song or stream. Well it was just a first thought and try. Loved it
