    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    Do Not Disturb

    The sky is awash in blue
    And painted furiously
    With watery strokes of pink.

    The forest floor is once again,
    Foreign,
    Too dark to see.
    The pines are naught but tall silhouettes
    Against the fading night sky.
    Their needles a soft carpet on the pathway.

    The songs from above
    Have been replaced with buzz and chirps below.

    The tall grasses sway in the gentle breeze,
    As the earth stretches and yawns,
    And rolls over in dreamful slumber.

    It's a wonderful feeling almost every time, isn't it...??? Just being out there in it, getting all lost and caught up in the plethora of sights, sounds, and smells outside at night... Good write....

    You always paint such beautiful pictures. I suspect you also are beautiful inside. I won't disturb these lovely thoughts.

    Thank you so much, mlea

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
