\'gives motive
for outings
that might
not be otherwise taken.\'
so, so deep..
in this more and more, alienated
version of reality, we all
seem to be experiencing
this \'little excuses, as motive\'
literally
save, lives...!
we owe our Dog\'s and pets
so much
they give, give, give
for just a few mouthfuls
and a back rub or two a day;
while
our fellow, empathetic human\'s
charge £60
(for the cheap seats)
to simply, listen to us for an hour..
crazy!
thank you! dear Fay
for gracing us with your Poetry once again
and as always, its a privilege
to witness your mastery

Gaining Relief
Bella Shepard said:

Such a peaceful, gentle process you have described. The simple act of milking the cow becomes this wonderful symbiotic relationship. Cows responding to the call, the touch of gentle hands on utters, both giving and receiving what is needed. this was just beautiful!

A bit of rural living being lost to modern technology. One wonders if the cows prefer the old method over today\'s machines.
I think you have captured the milking process most accurately and also have shown the interplay between bovine herds and old-time milk maids. It made me wonder which the cows prefer. - Phil A.

Doggerel Dave said:

Yes, Fay - sleep gets a full five stars from me, and doesn\'t necessarily confine itself to night time.
Actually those five stars are for your poem, which richly notes its restorative power. Thanks for that.

Sometimes it’s so much better to be in the moment , and be mindful .. especially in nature and in nice moments . A lovely writing 🙂 I especially love this line ‘ripples adorning the sea.’ Such softness in your words

Such a beautiful poem my dear friend. Sleep is the great equalizer. Dreams do cleanse the mind, and diminish the sting of pain. I love the way you have phrased this in lovely, lilting verse. It\'s a fav!

I knew she was good, but here she has excelled herself ...

this is fantastic Fay and I am, as you know a fan ..

furthermore, I have a confession to make and wonder whether any other visitor also found these fine words something of a turn on .. Nowt to do with the incredible image posted above them .. but it did not detract in the slightest ... x

Dream Keepers
MendedFences27 said:

What a beautiful Poem to accompany a stellar photo. \'Dream Keepers\" awaken and remember their dreams. Others like me cannot remember them. To be able to recall one\'s saved dreams must be a wonderful reality for some.
Your poem makes the Sun seem alive. Your \"Dream Keepers\" gloriously awaken slowly to the beauty of the Sunrise. It is a picture of a poem. A must have for sure. - Phil A.

\"when wonder speaks,\" had me in awe, and I listened. What a beautiful thought; to open our eyes, ears, and hearts to the beauty of Nature. I believe most folks do stand in awe of such beauty. Whether it be the sea, the sky, mountains, trees, flora, animals, all of this world\'s natural beauty most will stop and see. How many will do what it will take to save it is another story? A lovely poem , Fay - Phil A.

I just love the way you have phrased this poem. How glorious to capture that feeling of awe, to be amazed at the wonders of life, the people who will always astound us, the depths we can find within our souls. It\'s a fav!

Certain times when Nature flashes her beauty that last momentarily. We are lucky when they happen before us, sad when they disappear. In all Nature is beauty. We see it, photograph it, paint it, and often just enjoy the moment.
What a lovely expression of this quirk of Nature, beautiful unto itself. Loved it. - Phil A.

Such moments of crystalline clarity don\'t occur often and having past only a shadow remains - unless you manage, as you have here, to capture and tie it down, Fay.
Thanks

To quote our esteemed Poe, \"...quoth the raven: Nevermore--\"
How you effectively seep into the inner soul with a haunting refrain which is not precisely that, yet is.
Charming, haunting, beautiful.
Wonderful to read your work again, dearest Fay! Love you!

\'The lush sun\'s same display
will never re-form this grandeur again.

No more this moment\'s sheen
diamantéd on ripples adorning the sea.\'
(I wish, Time
could Pause
between
blinks and hiccups
and allow
our gifted experience
of life
to linger and season
so we can, remember
our everyday commonalities
like we do
those peaks of emotional, highs
and lows...)
as-Ever, simply beautiful worded
dear Fay, thank you
a joy to read
\'sheen diamantéd\'

Wow! I felt the pent-up desire in this. A life of loneliness wanting to be set free. Seems as though your theme is a most difficult one to write and yet you\'ve have done it with great style and some wonderful phrases: \"over-ripe hearts,\" \"wishing-dry daydreams,\" \"wound in untasted delight,\" \"Can a heart stay submerged forever?\" Just loved it. - Phil A.
