PACE.
Laura🌻 said:

My Dear Fay,

Absolutely stunning!
Your words flow as does that waterfall. A relatable message your poem does express!

So true...
all it takes is “one mad moment”...

“In one mad moment
fosakes granite’s grasping
claws and reels
forward at thunderous pace”...
...“once in motion water takes
the path of control.”

When I saw the title “Pace”, I immediately thought of PEACE. Pace in Italian means peace. As I read the poem, I sensed peace if we’re given enough space to breathe freely!

DANGER.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks for caring FAY ~ COAL is an awesome fuel and Chemical feedstock. It was Coal that energised the Industrial Revolution and made Train travel possible ! Today we take these facilities for granted and pay scant attention to those who mine the coal in difficult and dangerous circumstances. the H & S has improved ! Today there are fewer Coal Miner and fewer fatalities per 10,000 miners. In the USA in 2017 there were 84,000 miners and only 15 fatalities (2 in 10,000) ~ In 1917 there were 721,000 miners and 2228 fatalities (30 in 10,000) !
Yours as always BRIAN

WORDS.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks FAY : Someone said \"A Poem is just words : strung together : often without rhyme or reason !\" BUT through MPS (and gifted poets like yourself) I am learning they are much more that that. They are expressions of the Hearts : Minds : Souls & Spirits of Real People and should be treated with TLC. Brian likes to comment on NEW POETS : Ialways feel sad if a POEM has ZERO comments ! JUST WORDS ? NO ! Poems do need to be Used : Never abused : Perused and Cherished & kept forever ! Thanks for sharing such lovey poetic thoughts :
LOVE ANGELA : 🧡🧡🧡🧡

WORDS.
Neville said:

words, or more specifically, language is what sets us most apart from any other known life form... never met a penguin poet yet have ya..... please excuse my silliness.. I don\'t know what just came over me.. I agree, you cant beat those muse inspired words... N

SEEING THROUGH.
Nicholas Browning said:

A lot of this plays a large part in a view of psychology to me. The art of seeing through another is a tricky one. I agree with the message of not judging people. You never really know who someone else is of course, but we all know that no one is perfect - So how could we judge at all?
Nicely written.

LOVE BITES.
Neville said:

are you saying once bitten, forever smitten...
a fun take on the serious nature of what is oft called love..

or the port wine contusions inflicted during moments of heated adolescent courtship....

SEEING THROUGH.
orchidee said:

A good write Fay. I call it \'messing about\', not really the right description though - I mean, if we\'re caught up with \'extra\' rules, regulations, or legalism, and not really getting anywhere, e.g. playing a sort of game called \'Going to church\' as one example.

My Dear Fay,

• “Depths”
A great title for your awesome poem and pic! Truths spoken and sealed with your sagacious words...
“Real soul-beauty is empty of Self
but is filled with wonder’s ecstasy.”

Truly beautiful and amazing!

SPACES.

Wonderful work once more Fay.

I do enjoy Kahlil Gibran\'s work.

SPACES.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE FAY : Thanks for highlighting the importance of SPACE in LOVE & LIFE. When I was in ESSEX (UK) with BRIAN we had a lot in common but also separate interests. I was interested in Marshall Arts and Brian in Country Music with a Capital C ! This and other things gave us SPACE ! There are 11,500 miles between us now until Easter 2019 ! BUT absence (distance ?) has made our Hearts grow fonder : as your elegant Poem suggests ! Please pray for Auckland : we are all in shock over the murder of a lovely Young Lady : Grace Millane from Wickford in Essex : Brian is also in shock in Essex ! Thanks for the POWER of your elegant Poetry !
Love in the Spirit : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Love the picture its SUMMER inn Auckland : NOW !
Please check our latest FUSION : WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS ? : Thanks A & B !

SPACES.
Lorna said:

Oh yes! Much love with cords that bind loosely .......... it\'s funny too because from what I can understand (and it\'s not much) of quantum mechanics, there ARE invisible ties between all things constantly vibrating even through distances..........

Beautiful poem about the minor falls and major lifts of love.

GROWTH..
Neville said:

sadly we live in an increasingly risk adverse society and where individuality is frowned on... tis a tick a box, pop a pill, quick fix world... I did enjoy your poem though, sorry.. I almost went off on one...

SUCHNESS
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD EVENING FAY : Its 12 noon (Saturday) here in AUCKLAND and very nice & warm for sailing (19C = 66F : Summer !) Missed your muses last week : Love this one ! LIVING : LOOKING : LOVING all activities of the Hearts Core ! SUCHNESS is such a lovely word to describe the essence & substance of Human Emotions. Of such is LOVE & HEART & SPIRIT : which when combined cause our Lives to SING a unanimous song and our Hearts to WEEP no more ! Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
