Michael Edwards said:

I can feel the pain and know what my mother went through with my Dad - she never let on how it was affecting her until she could manage no longer.

Adrift With Nature.
L. B. Mek said:

\'I lay down and let nature breath on me\' - decadently emotive,
I took my daily walk, immersed in your words
so my actual walk - later, must be counted as a bonus
and long has it been decreed: bonus physical exertion must be compensated by an extra portion of dessert!
(and they said I was bad at maths...) :-)

Lovely number and how I agree that nature is the experience we all need to console and revive our memories of love............. thank you for sharing your walk in the woods dear Andy.

dusk arising said:

That\'s a lovely place you describe there Goldfinch and it seems these days you are much more attuned to it.

Is the traffic noise picking up again during your morning walks now that more people are returning to work. Is it a distraction.

That great Matt Monro number is one i have used on here too. It\'s the best thing he ever recorded by a long shot. I saw the italian job when it was released back in 69 i think it was and of course that was the intro music/song. A great choice and good to hear again today. I was 17 years old and had just moved to Gloucester... memories.

orchidee said:

I would lay down too, but I keep walking near cows fields, and I would pong of manure! Well, don\'t go too near those fields then, Orchi. lol.
Ohh, I savoured the pong of fresh manure, and didn\'t have my mask with me!

Steaming Entitlement.
dusk arising said:

Tell me about it. I had a steamy eye test on saturday morning.
Also I find i suffer with shortness of breath when conversing with a mask in place.

Great piece and pun on a contemporary issue.

GOOD SUNDAY UNCLE ANDY ~ Brian here ! Loved Donavan & Grystal a great era for Folk Msic so my Grandad tells me ! Loved the POEM ~ Masks & Masquerades will be a part of everyday Life until Christmas. Angela & I have been to Masked Balls and love them ! Perhaps they will be a feature for Christmas Parties ~ We hope so. I guess most of your Poems are *Free Verse* and very effective - no inhibition. Our last two have been an attempt @ Free verse ~ please check ~ THANKS A & B

Blessings & Joy to You & Yours
Love Angela ~ Brian & Smokey !

Michael Edwards said:

Tell me about it - went to have a haircut on friday and couldn\'t see a thing - I was all steamed and removed glasses and still couldn\'t see much thanks to poor eyesight. went to sit in the chair and ended up having to take the mask off as well for the benefit as the hairdresser. A nude head!!

dusk arising said:

Yes i agree. Some people become a part of our lives, part of the rock upon which we stand, though miles and even years may separate them from our everyday.

Good write Gold.
But doh! Some people we wish were not always there, can seem to hang around like a bad penny/smell/etc!
I was always there in 1066, though they all wish I had not turned up!

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD SABBATH UNCLE ANDY - Angela here. We love all your eclectic music and the posoitivity in your Poems. Love slow & nostalgic Piano Music - It gives me an incentive to Learn more and I know I can manaage the pace of this lovely haunting tune. Brian & I love Saturdays because it gives us a whole day to potter together and for me to bond with Smokey ! Love the Poem. Even looking back on my short (32 years) life I can see that the good days sure outweigh the bad ones by at least 95% for which I am very thankful to God & My Family and latterly BRIAN ! Keep smiling & enjoy another HAPPY DAY ~ AMEN !

Blessings & Happiness to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian & Smokey Cat !

dusk arising said:

Good for you. I only wish it were so for everyone. I\'m blessed with the same joy de vivre as u are but i do see people who appear miserable for no apparent reason.

There may be clouds in the sky but the sun is shining as bright as ever right behind \'em.

In These Strange Times.
dusk arising said:

Before reading your words i listen to the music. Superb. Quality and clarity of the recording comes across, even from my tiny laptop\'s speakers. I could hear his chair creaking and after his final note the Dee-Daw of a passing police car which brought a smile i think to the virtuoso\'s face.

Terrible news you describe but we must console ourselves in the knowledge that the devil has found work for those idle thieving hands as we read reports that they are now battering their partners, lavishing bruises and broken limbs upon the innocents to compensate for the lack of stolen goods around the home.

yes, aww. And what about Branson still? I think we should all give him more. Seems right to me. It don\'t matter if we\'re poor. Doh!
