I suppose it is because I am from America that I must disagree. I mean this respectfully. We try to avoid war as much as we can. No one ever wants to go to war, but when it is unavoidable, there is not much more that can be done. There is a time for war and a time for peace. Personally, I like peace, but it is not that easy to walk away sometimes.
Still, I liked your poem. That is how fights often escalate.
Persistence is key

When speakers are stopped from speaking and people are barred from entering the country because they hold the wrong views the next step is violence. When did we forget how to have open and honest debate? This crisis in N.Africa is by design... part of a larger plan (Kalergi) and a manifestation of the lack of scruples demonstrated by EU/Bilderburg IMO. Good poem though, this tendency of thought process is helpful to nobody.

Thank you Goldfinch60.
A great write.
Retribution sadly so many people are so intent on this where in some circumstances the best thing to do would be to walk away in peace.
Keep writing

I don\'t know how I can feel joy and sadness all at the same time3, but you made that happen. I feel sorrow that you have to deal with this but joy that she has you by her side. No one can read it without being moved. I applaud you.

This fills the heart with its tender love toward a partner who slowly has to bow to dementia - the warmth of compassion steals over each line of this early morning write dear Goldi - - hugs as you face the daily challenge and keep up the writing as it helps I am sure.

Thanks ANDY ~ Love Jacques Loussier ~ so gentle a touch and yet so haunting a sound. It compliments your poem ! I have Friends & Family & Church Family and several of them struggle with Dementia ~ mainly the 60+. Most of them I can communicate and pray with ~ but with some the time has already come when their bubble is impenetrable and that point always makes me cry ~ because you lose something so so precious ~ the ability of communicate and philosophise. Even then MUSIC can build a bridge ! Love the balance of the hurt & hope in your Poem \"In the Stillness of the Morning\" ~ Yours Prayerfully ~ BRIAN

It\'s wonderful Andy that you can find solace in these thoughts.... dealing with dementia becomes such a one-way street and can get very lonely. Spirits up!

Sensitive write Gold. It\'s difficult. Hoping for more of those \'clear spots\' or \'clear days\'. Not an impossibility, surely?
Meanwhile - what more do I need? Just a pork pie or three to give the morning perfection! heehee.

You kick some serious ass with that pen of yours. I really do like this. \"In the stillness of the morning, what more do I need?\" Absolutely amazing. So simple, yet so heavy.

Thanks ANDY for a triple WHAMMY ! Perfect Picture ~ Perfect Symphony ~ Perfect Poem ! At 35 ~ Every Silver Lining has a Cloud ~ they come & go but stay in EQUILIBRIUM ! As I pass the half-way mark (We are only promised three score & ten (3 x 20) + 10 = 70 !) I am encouraged by the voice of my Elder ~ \"So that now when Clouds float into my Life ~ all they do is to add Colour ~ to my Sunset Sky !\" I trust I can say that in 35 years time (2053) if our Planet is still habitable ! Thanks for brightening a damp Thursday morning in Essex !

A lovely write and pic Gold. Our sunset (you and I) must have been going for thousands of years, seeing as we\'re millions of years old!
The sunset quick for Harold in 1066, cos I mucked it up. Am I in history books? Arggh, why is my deed record for eternal shame, as Judas\' was in the Bible, sadly?
