So sorry that your father has passed away, David. I am sure he would still appreciate this fine, haunting poem. He will live on in dreams and memory, and perhaps elsewhere.

Thanks, Rick. One of the benefits of having a dog is that you have to go out and face the weather, whatever the forecast. The dog demands it!

I like the ironic tone of this, Steve. Rueful and regretful we may be, but we have to keep our humour, even in the face of this onslaught.

Hi Landi,

The first half of this work seems like a contemplation on "Interstellar" whilst the second phase seems more personal. I'm sure I will read this several times.

I love the last line.

On day two, as we speak, attempts are being made, and the intention has been declared, to sabotage the so-called cease-fire, and to continue the genocide of Palestinians and their land.

Apologies, Steve; I didn't look at the picture, and missed "One nation under God".
Did you spot Boris J with his head down, like a naughty boy, dodging eye contact with the cameras whilst Trump was whipping up the anti-gay/trans, and xenophobic vote!

Thanks Steve-"If only we had", one might be moved to exclaim, on observing Britain's historical meddling in, and consequent devastation of the Middle East.
Those who hold the racist and imperialist Winston Churchill in some kind of reverence, need to read Tariq Ali's book on him.

14*7 pounds per square inch in old money, if I remember correctly, Rick.
In a layman's language: if I stood on Blackpool beach ( ie. at sea-level), and someone drew a 1 inch square on top of my head, the column of air immediately above that extending up through the atmosphere would weigh nearly 15 pounds!
I wonder if that's the cause of my headaches?

Comment is about AT EASE WITH SIMPLICITY (re-edited) (blog)

Original item by Flyntland

Thanks to Graham, Landi and Flyntland for your kind words and the lovely Max Richter link.

Graham, recently my dreams have been becoming more vivid, ranging from themes of great natural beauty, love, violence and repeated dreams of my Father and friends in younger years.

I seem to be in a phase where I am remembering more of my dreaming, whilst some are welcome others are quite disturbing and upsetting. I would rather remember my dreams than not as they are a great source for ideas, often they are source of education which I find mind boggling.

This beautiful poem has a dreamy mystical quality.

I particularly love the fourth stanza -

"What we seek is always a shadow play
an echo of things we cannot hold or stay"

Thank you for it.

Thank you Flyntland, Uilleam, Graham and Greg, and thanks to everyone who liked this poem.

I still remain optimistic that in the end people will reject this charlatan and his cronies (as well as the tinpot versions now appearing in Europe), although of course they can, and will, do a lot of damage in the meantime.

Optimism is all we have at the moment!

Thank you Graham!
It's interesting to think that the quest to understand ourselves is what truly sets us apart. Some seem to have a clear sense of self, while others remain lost in the search. It raises the question of who is right and who is wrong. Perhaps the journey itself holds the answer. I’m glad you connected with those lines, and your reflection adds such depth to the conversation.

Thank you so much for your kind words Holden! I'm glad those lines resonated with you. Writing them felt like capturing a moment of deep introspection and the sense of navigating through life's uncertainties. I'm thrilled it connected with you in that way.

I remember the poem from its first posting. I am sorry to hear your father has died. Whilst I do not believe in a hereafter, I do believe that people live on in the memories of others. Dreams and fathers see to loom large in my though processes.

Cheers, Rick.
I'd been walking round town yesterday, without gloves, my hands turning a few shades of blue.
I got into the car only for the automatic warning signal to ding ding, warning of "Icy Conditions"- Nooooo, you don't say!
Such is the disconnect between us and the natural world that people actually "need" such reminders!

The tortured vision that you create is vivid - a mad-writhing world totally devoid of warmth or happiness - dark, dangerous, and all-consuming.

One thing is for sure. Half of America voted for this moron, having already seen what a total fool he was when in power the first time. To that end half of America deserve what is coming their way. As for Trump, I think he'll spend the next few years looking over his shoulder and so he should!

isn't it that question that separates us from the rest, the quest to understand ourselves? Whereas some have a very distinct awareness of self others do not. Who is right and who is wrong, another question!!
