Obviously
I’m new here

Though in truth
There is a sense
Of déjà vu

On the hills
The orchards
Are heavy with fruit
The wheat in the fields
Gold with grain

There’s a smell
Of the sea
In the pale blue air
Through which flights
Of birds in pairs
Flutter among the trees

I imagine
With minor variations
To suit individual needs
This is probably
How it’s supposed to be

Up the road
Are houses with gardens
Of a little town

The sounds of voices
In a breeze

I can feel the isolation in this stark, beautiful poem, and it unnerves me . . .

More serendipity--

I'm reading that now. AND? I have been having the "house" dreams again...

You always impress me, but this time I'm feeling a little freaky. *grin*
