night sky sparkles clean and cloud-free sliver of a moon blends into the splendor of flashing stars wished upon throughout the eons what is it about Heaven . . . Space . . . the great expanse . . . that calls us to lift up our voices on its behalf is Heaven up there or is it just . . . there believers and non-believers look to the sky for inspiration a rumble of dry thunder or maybe a heavenly voice nights like this one could lose themselves and become as one with . . . everything they are ©August 15, 2016 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

One could, one really could. Just a letting go, a resistless falling, and we are there. |

It simply humbles me JerryPat...what you write of and how you write of it. Men need to humbled. When they run out of pegs on their 'one-size-fits-all' caps, it's time to look up. Hey there Southern Lou! You're writing 'em better than ever! Sounds like all is well with you and that's good news. I know, as everyone does, of the tragic loss of life and property. Many firefighters and others from up here are already there and more aid is on the way. I wondered about you and didn't want go about things without giving you a shout. Stay well my friend. Take a bundle of 88's with ya!  She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Thank you so much, Tickle, for stopping by and giving my poem a read. Yes, things got bad here in Louisiana, and it is still isn't over. It will take a long time to survive and conquer what has happened. I am good. I live on high ground where it never floods. Thanks for the "bundle of 88's," ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

This is really beautiful JP. You should lose yourself more often, makes for great poetry. Loved the read!! On another note, I am glad to know you are safe on higher ground. Enough rain already. We are fighting fires in California. Mother nature is letting us know who is boss. |

Thank you Blues, appreciate your comments very much. Yes, I am still high and dry, although it is raining right now. I'm beginning to think that maybe all the confused weather is Chem Trails originated. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
