Let’s Talk About the Weather For Once

Neville


Notice of absence from Neville
If I get the thumbs up tomorrow from my Doc, I hope to be in Miami on Friday for three days before jumping ship and spending three weeks sailing around South America .. Sheesh, what we do to try n get a touch of inspiration eh' .. Take care while I'm away & please forgive any delay in my going quiet for a while .. Hope to return feeling better than I do write at this moment .. AGT's Neville πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

Let’s Talk About the Weather for Once

 

Yes, the weather is being kind to us ..

But then,

there is talk of snow too my love ..

And yes, of course

I spoke to the moon and to the stars

again last night ..

As indeed, I always do

and for a moment then, the sky was

filled, with my words only

and which seemed to form a prayer ..

Now though,  

I sit here, sipping strong black coffee

and smiling vaguely

in what feels to me, like your direction ..

        A warm moment of weather talk before that vague smile in a lover's direction means she knows there is heat in the air despite any forecast of snow - -- and methinks t'will grow even hotter when weather's forgotten...................x

        • Neville



          we all need something to look forward to .. don't we Fay .. x

            Wonderful words Neville, when I got up before dawn this morning the moon was shining brightly starting my day with wonder.

              Me too, glorious isn't it with just a touch of frost on the hill but with the sun clearly not too far behind πŸ™‚

              'and smiling vaguely'
              that smile, blossoming
              from a heart, in a most
              contemplatively melancholic
              frame
              of remembrance and appreciation
              ..
              for those who know, Hyung
              these words will hit home
              deeper, than any love song...
              (Brilliant!)

              • Neville



                Bless you Mek

              • Rocky Lagou

                I adore this!

                The way in which you breathe something special into each of your poems is amazing.

                I feel like at the heart of small talk is always the weather. It's what comes most natural to us. But sometimes those small conversations can lead to a lifetime of love and admiration for one another. A seemingly trivial interaction can hold the key to a rich and intimate bond.

                  what a delightful thing to say Rocky .. many thank you's my friend .. so very much appreciated πŸ™‚

                • hzugman

                  Very nice, Nev.

                  • Neville



                    thank you kindly hzugman for the visit and subsequent formulation .. both are magnificently appreciated πŸ™‚

                  • James Stinson

                    Neville, thoroughly impressed with your body of work.
                    Delightful and inspiring.

                    • Neville


                      You are far too generous sir James .. but I would indeed be writing huge porky pies if I suggested even for a micro second that I didn't both like and appreciate it .. Many thanks .. Neville πŸ™‚
