Ah but many do see - they see a screen - but nothing else. A sad world - a fine observation in your poem.

Long ago, as a child, whilst watching a cowboys and indians film i first heard the phrase \"The paleface looks but does not see\". Right there and then i began to evaluate it\'s meaning.
I haven\'t stopped.

There\'s a Bible verse: \'They shall see, but shall not perceive, etc.....\' They looked but never really saw.
Bit like \'Just because I\'m in a garage, if you look properly you will see I am not a car!\'

Yes lightening is forecast for the southern coasts today Andy -- it sure does illuminate a darkened room with a sort of excitement. Electric bulbs come a weak second to lightening\'s powerful force - - a lovely read and here\'s hoping thundery weather brought no more damage to your neck of the woods my friend.

The nights draw in as we head toward another season. But ahead there is springtime too when the world explodes with life and hopefully we find ourselves refreshed and re-energised. I know i am hoping for dark days to pass and bring forth a light for the future.

GOOD EVENING UNCLE ANDY - Thanks for the video ! We both find the Music paradoxically soothing & invigorating - Music for All reasons ? Why do We write Poetry ? A lot of our current Poems are collaborations which we think makes them better than our solo efforts ? It is unique way of sharing across 11,500 miles and baking a Poetic Cake between us ! CATHARTIC. That is also an element of of your Poem today because of the Mental Gulf which has developed between You & Your Beloved Joyce ! And of course the difference is (for which I apologise in Context !) By NOVEMBER ANGELA & I will be together forever in Essex or wherever Life & Love take us ! Thanks for sharing & caring !
Blessing & Peace to You & Joyce
Love ANGELA & BRIAN

such a good answer to that simple question dear friend - - poetry as your lovely verse states helps in expressing our own reality. Love the number you chose to image the journey on which poetry takes us.

dusk arising said:
Initially i think we are lucky if we are touched by the naive instinct to write poetry. But the more we write the more \'stuff\' pours out of our minds. We begin to explore all the feelings within us and soon see that others are doing this too.
But then along will come a truly trying time for us and we dig deeper into the pain which tortures us seeking answers and peace. Answers to questions which nobody else\'s answers will satisfy.
I believe we come to find those answers within ourselves.
The most theraputic voice i hear is the voice within.

Thanks Cal(liope)? - erm, I mean Gold!
Yes, some thought or inspiration starts us off. Sometimes not even every day. Maybe 1, 2 or 3 some other days.
Do you know Cal well?!

Good Morning UNCLE ANDY thanks for sharing ! As you know I am a Classical Guitarist and it is one of the factor that endeared me to Don Pedro my future Father in Law.

I am always awed by *Professional Classical Guitar Players* !
Every day has its New Beginnings and October will begin a whole and exciting BEGINNING for Angela & I after 15 months Separation ! Althoughwe will not cohabit until after we are married ~ AMEN thanks for Music & Muse !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE

I know exactly where this comes from Goldfinch. Those dear people entrusted with your lovers well-being. Felt from your heart.
Beautifully written.
I had a lesser but similar occasion on Thursday when I was able to give my piece \'unlikely bunch\' (Aug 30 on MPS) to the staff and patients in the chemotherapy room at Cheltenham Oncology dept. They are all such kind and caring gentle people. All so appreciative of my small jesture. They\'re saints as are your wife\'s carers.
