YAKKITY YAK YAK YAK ~ When God made ADAM he created an introspective non talker ! EVE was just the opposite a non-stop talker ! When I\'m sitting in the Park I like to meditate but not Angela ~ she quickly finds another Lady an they gossip non-stop like Sisters and they\'ve only just met ~ amazing !
Its always LADIES on the check-out they fit neatly in the slot ! And they chatter just like WYNTON playing MOTO PERPETUO ! Thanks for sharing ~ Please check my latest FUSION # GOOD HABITS ~ BAD HABITS ? Yours BRIAN

Andy,
A great write and the perfect instrumental piece to showcase it!

I guess we have all come across those individuals who are blessed with verbal diarrhea!

I enjoyed listening to the talented Wynton Marsalis! Not only is he an international acclaimed musician, but he is also a great humanitarian!

Probably a load of old gossip! Shoppers were huffing and puffing in long queues in a shop, as they had not got enough tills open, and no self-service tills there either.
It\'s a pain if you have one or two items, and the person in front has about 3,647 items! Did you play the game \'Guess the quickest queue to get in to, to be served?\'

Andy,
A beautiful and poignant write! We do need to see and hear lightning and thunder to appreciate nature’s world in its quiet harmonious state! Listening to the music was so peaceful and magical!

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Ahhhh ANDY The great Alexander Borodin ~ Chemist and Composer famous for his work on ALDEHYDES (RCHO) and the opera Prince Igor ! He is a favorite of mine because as a Professor of Chemistry his chosen sphere of research was Organic Synthesis which is my sphere also ! He is also famous for his string quartets ~ his music has a haunting natural quality ! In the 21st C I would contend that Scientists are the best educated People because we understand the Universe (Thanks to the late Professor Stephen Hawking) but also Art ~ Music and Literature & Poetry as well ! Love the cadence in your poem ~ delightful ! Yours Brian ~ Poet & fellow Scientist ! Please check my Tribute to HMQ ~ Thanks BRIAN

Nicholas Browning said:

\"God is in his heaven, and all\'s right with the world.\" - A quote from Robert Browning. This came to mind when I read this. A beautiful incantation of nature\'s wondrous euphoria.

To feel so accepted by someone that you can sit quietly with them and not worry is a dream come true..... and very rare. Lovely poem and thoughts. Thanks for the book suggestion as well Andy........

Silence with Somebody.
Laura🌻 said:

Andy,
So many emotions and feelings evoked while reading your poem! I envisioned a woman wanting to be alone in her own world!

I was intrigued by your note that you came across this idea from reading the book “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society “ by Mary Ann Shaffer!
It peeked my curiosity. I decided to research it! What an amazing story! Also found out it was made into a film that was released yesterday!

So when you say “she” in the poem, are you referencing the island and its residents during the WWII German occupation of Guernsey?

cacophony & razz-ama-tazz. Thank God
There will be SILENCE in HEAVEN !

Loved the Poem and its emphasis on
the importance of SILENCE ~ BRIAN

orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. I read one description of hell, apart from whether it has fire and flames or not. The article said hell is like reaching out for something we want (rather than \'need\') and it always eluding our grasp - tantalising, taunting, etc, for ever.
I would probably dream of reaching for a pint(!) of sherry. lol.

Laura🌻 said:

Andy,
You had me going...till the end! I thought you were really going to enjoy that pint and do it your way. Sinatra certainly did it his way! He was something else...especially in person! I’ll never forget the time I saw him in Patsy’s restaurant! That was a vision!
